Window mastic in Monkhams
Around Monkhams we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Typical jobs include draughty joints inside around the window and mastic that has split away from the wall, across uPVC windows, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Monkhams: your questions answered
Is Monkhams in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Monkhams is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Highams Park station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Monkhams
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Why it’s worth doing now in Monkhams
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

What we are called out for in Monkhams
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Draughty joints inside around the window
If you let a flat or house near Highams Park station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What window mastic looks like in Monkhams
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before you book. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
As a London address, Monkhams can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Homes close to All Saints' Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a job in Monkhams, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
