Window mastic for homes and businesses in Northmoor
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you’re dealing with draughty joints inside around the window and untidy mastic left by window fitters, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Northmoor is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

When to call us in Northmoor
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Homes close to Church of St Denys include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Northmoor: your questions answered
Is Northmoor within the area you cover?
Yes. Northmoor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is window mastic in Northmoor guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

Frames and glazing around Northmoor
Historic houses like Appleton Manor (about 1.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Northmoor has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep timber frames painted
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Northmoor, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- 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.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
