Window mastic in Neames Forstal
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. Common call-outs are for a bead that doesn’t match the frame and black, perished sealant on frames, across composite doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows.
Around Neames Forstal, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Signs you need window mastic in Neames Forstal
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
If you let a flat or house near Selling station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Your questions about window mastic in Neames Forstal
Do you cover smaller places like Neames Forstal?
Yes, Neames Forstal is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A frame that has rotted at the joint

Frames and glazing around Neames Forstal
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens (about 4.1 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Neames Forstal has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Selling Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Why deal with it now?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Neames Forstal, 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 price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Advice
Surface by surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We’ll tell you if that is what we find.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. We use a neutral-cure product.
