About our window mastic in Nunhead
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We are often asked to deal with draughty joints inside around the window and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on patio & French doors, composite doors and uPVC windows.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, letting in draughts and water.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, and the area is left clean. In a London area like Nunhead, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Quotes for window mastic in Nunhead
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If someone has resealed it before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.
Do you need window mastic in Nunhead?
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Homes close to Saint Antony with Saint Silas include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, 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 for homes in Nunhead.

Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Window mastic in Nunhead: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking.
Letting a property close to Nunhead station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ivydale Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
