Window mastic in Hacton, done properly
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are rushed sealant from a window installation and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Frames and glazing around Hacton
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Scotts Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Upminster station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. As a London address, Hacton can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Hacton. 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.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Questions from Hacton
Is Hacton in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Hacton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Is parking a problem for a job in Hacton?
Parking in Hacton, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
How we quote for window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
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, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.

How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
