About our window mastic in Joyden's Wood
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Common call-outs are for a bead that doesn’t match the frame and mastic that has split away from the wall, across timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Joyden's Wood.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep timber frames painted
- Do not paint over the silicone
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
How the visit works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a London area like Joyden's Wood, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- 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.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

Window mastic in Joyden's Wood: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Barnabas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Joydens Wood Junior School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Joyden's Wood is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
