About our window mastic in Grove
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Grove is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Grove: your questions answered
Is Grove in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Grove is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sturry station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before any work starts, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Grove?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Grove, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What else we do in Grove

If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal

- Timber windows & doors

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
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.
Window mastic in Grove: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 4.7 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Grove 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 is traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mildred, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Sturry station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you look after a building such as Preston Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What’s near Grove

Why it’s worth doing now in Grove
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Grove can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
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 make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
