Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.

- Every joint is checked before we leave.

Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Whistling draughts around closed windows

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.

How long before the joint can be used?

Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
