About our window mastic in Jacobs Well
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. Common call-outs are for rushed sealant from a window installation and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, across aluminium frames, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Jacobs Well, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

How we quote for window mastic
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Window mastic in Jacobs Well: local notes
Historic houses like Guildford Castle (about 2.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Jacobs Well 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 is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
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. Schools such as Weyfield Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

When to call us in Jacobs Well
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.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
For landlords with property near Worplesdon station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. Somewhere as small as Jacobs Well, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Common questions in Jacobs Well
Will you come out to Jacobs Well?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Worplesdon station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before we start, so mention the height and anything in the way.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Jacobs Well?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
What sealant work cannot fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- uPVC windows

Why it’s worth doing now in Jacobs Well
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Jacobs Well, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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 make a difference.
