Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In an older home around Merrow, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

How we handle window mastic in Merrow
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. Either or both can be done. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can put it right, on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors alike.
Many houses in smaller places like Merrow have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Windows and doors in Merrow
With historic houses such as Clandon Park (about 0.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Merrow 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Clandon station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Homes close to Church of St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Merrow questions
Is Merrow in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Merrow is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is Merrow within the area you cover?
Yes. Merrow is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Merrow?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before any work starts.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. A visit to Merrow is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Common problems we fix in Merrow
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
If you look after a building such as Bushy Hill Junior School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
