About our window mastic in Knox Bridge

Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you’re dealing with untidy mastic left by window fitters and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

Around Knox Bridge, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

Our work is backed for twelve months, in Knox Bridge and everywhere else we cover.

When to call us in Knox Bridge

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.

Common reasons people contact us are:

  • Old mastic that has gone black or come away
  • Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
  • Rushed sealant from a window installation
  • Cracked sealant at the sill ends

If you let a flat or house near Staplehurst station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What to look for in a quote

  • What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
  • How long the guarantee is
  • Are they insured?
  • Whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

Honest limits

Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:

  • Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
  • Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
  • Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first

If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Your questions about window mastic in Knox Bridge

Is Knox Bridge within the area you cover?

Yes, Knox Bridge is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Do you cover Knox Bridge for window mastic?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Knox Bridge is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.

Will new mastic stop 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 fully insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.

Where do you work from?

We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

Can new window sealant be painted?

Not normally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.

Do you work on first-floor windows?

Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.

Can you do the inside joint as well?

Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.

How we quote for window mastic

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:

  • How much there is to do
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The product the joint needs
  • How many areas need sealing

The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What we need to know

When you contact us, it’s useful to know:

  • If someone has resealed it before
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Roughly how big the job is

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Landlord and commercial work in Knox Bridge

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

Why deal with it now?

Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Knox Bridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Different surfaces, different methods

Window sills

The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.

Composite doors

If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.

Frames and glazing around Knox Bridge

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.

In and around Knox Bridge, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating. Expect the work to take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Knox Bridge, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
  2. We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
  3. Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
  4. A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
  5. Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking restrictions
