Window mastic in Granborough, done properly
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on composite doors, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
Around Granborough, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Quotes for window mastic in Granborough
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Granborough questions
Do you cover smaller places like Granborough?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do window mastic in Granborough?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Granborough is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
What we are called out for in Granborough
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a village or hamlet like Granborough, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Window mastic in Granborough: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Claydon House (about 2.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Granborough as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Sir Thomas Fremantle School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a small place like Granborough, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Full insurance on every job
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
