How we handle window mastic in Heath End
Homes in Heath End have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you’re dealing with leaking joints at the ends of sills and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Heath End is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What else we do in Heath End
What we’re called out for in Heath End
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Draughty joints inside around the window
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

FAQs for Heath End
Is Heath End in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Heath End is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is window mastic in Heath End guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Do not paint over the silicone
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Heath End, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Can I do it myself?
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
Heath End homes and the weather
Historic houses like Greys Court (about 4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Heath End has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
In and around Heath End, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Why deal with it now?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Around Heath End, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
