How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Heart's Delight, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

How we handle window mastic in Heart's Delight
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. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Typical jobs include leaking joints at the ends of sills and white mastic on grey or black frames, across uPVC windows, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
Homes in small places like Heart's Delight often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Heart's Delight and everywhere else we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Don’t paint over the silicone
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Common problems we fix in Heart's Delight
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

FAQs for Heart's Delight
Is Heart's Delight within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Snowdown station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Tell us if you are decorating and we will choose accordingly.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Surface by surface
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.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.
Heart's Delight homes and the weather
Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 4.4 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Heart's Delight has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Snowdown station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Schools such as Barham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
