Quotes for window mastic in Gants Hill
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The rough size of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details and send pictures if you have them.
Window mastic in Gants Hill, done properly
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have cold air getting in at the frame edge and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What window mastic looks like in Gants Hill
With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 0.4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Gants Hill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as St George's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Ilford station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Gants Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What else we do in Gants Hill
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we’re doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a job in Gants Hill, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
