About our window mastic in Ivybridge
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We’re often asked to deal with white mastic on grey or black frames and draughts coming in around windows and doors, across composite doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, letting in draughts and water.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Ivybridge and across Greater London.

FAQs for Ivybridge
Do you work for landlords with property near Twickenham 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.
Is Ivybridge in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ivybridge is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the joint suits the frame.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Sealant colour chosen to suit

What affects the quote in Ivybridge

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
What window mastic looks like in Ivybridge
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. With historic houses such as Richmond House (about 1.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ivybridge as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Richmond House, about 1.1 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Ivybridge, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Chase Bridge Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Do you need window mastic in Ivybridge?
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
As a London address, Ivybridge can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
