About our window mastic in Hollingrove
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you’ll get a clear quote before we start. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the sill meets the wall and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Homes in small places like Hollingrove 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Questions from Hollingrove
Do you cover smaller places like Hollingrove?
Yes. Hollingrove is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Hollingrove?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hollingrove is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Hollingrove?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before we start. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Landlord and commercial work in Hollingrove
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Why act early in Hollingrove
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hollingrove, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why Hollingrove customers choose us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Window mastic in Hollingrove: local notes
Historic houses like Bateman's (about 2.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Hollingrove has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Robertsbridge station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Hollingrove
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What insurance they hold
How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
