Frames and glazing around Munstead Heath
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Loseley Park (about 3 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Munstead Heath has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Busbridge Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Godalming station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you live in an older home near St John the Baptist Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Window mastic in Munstead Heath, done properly
Homes in Munstead Heath have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Common call-outs are for cold air getting in at the frame edge and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, across composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
Homes in small places like Munstead Heath often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
Why act early in Munstead Heath
If you’re 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. Around Munstead Heath, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Munstead Heath, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Your questions about window mastic in Munstead Heath
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Godalming station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Munstead Heath?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the joint suits the frame.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
