Window mastic in Loxford: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Eastbury Manor House (about 1.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Loxford as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Woodlands Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Barking station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Loxford is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

About our window mastic in Loxford
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Much of London’s older housing was built with timber sash windows, some still in place and some long since replaced. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Loxford as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a London area like Loxford, 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.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

What happens if it’s left?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Why us?
- One-year guarantee on every job
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We never seal over old sealant

When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- Composite doors
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that’s what we find.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Your questions about window mastic in Loxford
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Barking station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Loxford?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you come to Loxford?
Yes. From our base in Crawley, we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland, Loxford included.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available.
