- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.

- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.

How we handle window mastic in Fullwell Cross
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have gaps where the sill meets the wall and whistling draughts around closed windows, we can put it right.
Around Fullwell Cross, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Surface by surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- A few pictures by email, if you can
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send pictures if you have them.
What happens if it’s left?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In a smaller place like Fullwell Cross, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Windows and doors in Fullwell Cross
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Valentines Mansion (about 1.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Fullwell Cross has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Francis of Assisi, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Clore Tikva School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Seven Kings station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
