Typical jobs include untidy mastic left by window fitters and leaking joints at the ends of sills, on timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and patio & French doors.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Grange Mills.

What we are called out for in Grange Mills
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Look out for these signs:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Letting a property close to Balham station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Why deal with it now?
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 London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Silicone can’t usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Grange Mills homes and the weather
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking. Historic houses like Kingswood House (about 2.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Grange Mills has older buildings as well as new. 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.
As a London address, Grange Mills can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Managing a site like Henry Cavendish Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common questions in Grange Mills
Can you do window mastic in Grange Mills?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Grange Mills is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Grange Mills?
Parking in Grange Mills, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Usually, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will use the nearest match.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Grange Mills. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Advice
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
