Window mastic in Merton

What the job involves on each surface

Patio & French doors

Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.

uPVC windows

Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.

About our window mastic in Merton

A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows.

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, letting in draughts and water.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Merton as everywhere else we work.

Questions from Merton

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Haydons Road station?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.

Is Merton in your area for window mastic?

Yes, Merton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.

Can you match the sealant to my frames?

Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.

Which products do you use?

Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

Will the old sealant be removed?

Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.

Do you need window mastic in Merton?

A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
  • Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
  • Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
  • Gaps left after new windows were fitted

For landlords with property near Haydons Road station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

10 questions to ask before booking

Why it’s worth doing now in Merton

If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. 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.

Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What you get with us

  • Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
  • We leave the area clean and tidy
  • Sealant colour chosen to suit
  • White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

Windows and doors in Merton

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. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking.

As a London address, Merton can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Merton Abbey Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Honest limits

New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:

  • A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
  • Damp problems in the wall away from the window
  • Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Window sills
  • Composite doors
  • Timber windows & doors
  • Aluminium frames
  • Patio & French doors
  • uPVC windows

Keeping the joints in good condition

Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:

  • Wipe condensation off the frames
  • Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
  • Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
  • Keep paint off silicone joints

Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.

Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.

How it works

Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a job in Merton, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.

  1. First we look at every frame and agree the list.
  2. The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
  3. Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
  4. New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
  5. Every joint is checked before we leave.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • Mention any tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
