About our window mastic in Heron Quays
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and draughty joints inside around the window.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Heron Quays is something to talk through when you book.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

Signs you need window mastic in Heron Quays
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Managing a site like Seven Mills Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

FAQs for Heron Quays
I let a flat near Canary Wharf station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Heron Quays?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Normally, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll use the nearest match.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- The amount of work
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In Heron Quays, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Faulty window hardware
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What else we do in Heron Quays
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Windows and doors in Heron Quays
With historic houses such as Queen's House (about 1.7 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Heron Quays as well as newer homes. 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Canary Wharf station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. In the older streets around St Peter's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Other landmarks nearby include The Pumphouse Educational Museum (0.7 miles west) and Surrey Quays Shopping Centre (1.2 miles south-west). Not far away are Tower Hill and St. James's Park Lake.
Why deal with it now?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Heron Quays, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
