Window & door mastic in Meadvale, Surrey
Window and door frames in Meadvale need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
Window mastic in Meadvale, done properly
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Common call-outs are for gaps left after new windows were fitted and whistling draughts around closed windows, on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors.
Around Meadvale, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. In a smaller place like Meadvale, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.

Common problems we fix in Meadvale
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Schools such as Reigate School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why deal with it now?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Meadvale, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
