How we handle window mastic in Northwood
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you will get a clear quote before we start. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Northwood. Common call-outs are for old mastic that has gone black or come away and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, across patio & French doors, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Your questions about window mastic in Northwood
Can you do window mastic in Northwood?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Northwood is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Northwood?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

Frames and glazing around Northwood
With historic houses such as Headstone Manor (about 3.3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Northwood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
As a London address, Northwood can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Managing a site like Frithwood Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

The job generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Northwood, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Look round the frames every year or so
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
What we’re called out for in Northwood
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
In the older streets around Emmanuel Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
