Hale Street homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (about 4.4 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hale Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like East Peckham Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Yalding station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Hale Street
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Common call-outs are for cracked sealant at the sill ends and untidy mastic left by window fitters, across patio & French doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames.
In a village or hamlet like Hale Street, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep timber frames painted
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hale Street
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hale Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

FAQs for Hale Street
Will you come out to Hale Street?
Yes, Hale Street is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Yalding station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the joint suits the frame.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. We use a neutral-cure product.
