Window mastic in Little Woodcote, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are leaking joints at the ends of sills and black, perished sealant on frames.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a London area like Little Woodcote, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work

Do you work on first-floor windows?

Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before work begins.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Usually, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Why act early in Little Woodcote
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Little Woodcote, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Little Woodcote

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
What window mastic looks like in Little Woodcote
Historic houses like Nonsuch Mansion (about 3.3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Little Woodcote has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Woodmansterne station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you live in an older home near St. Patrick's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

- Faulty window hardware

What we are called out for in Little Woodcote
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Draughty joints inside around the window
If you look after a building such as Woodmansterne Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
- The length of the guarantee
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
