What window mastic looks like in Manor House
With historic houses such as Bruce Castle (about 2.1 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Manor House as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
If you let a flat or house near Harringay Green Lanes station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Manor House is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Window mastic in Manor House
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and rushed sealant from a window installation.
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 Manor House.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Manor House. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Getting a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Advice
When to call us in Manor House
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
In the older streets around Church of St Olave, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Your questions about window mastic in Manor House
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Harringay Green Lanes station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Manor House in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Manor House is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A handful of frames is a short visit, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Usually, yes. We plan safe access before the job.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Check the mastic once a year
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
