How we handle window mastic in Ockford Ridge
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. Typical jobs include black, perished sealant on frames and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, across uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
Homes in small places like Ockford Ridge often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Common problems we fix in Ockford Ridge
Every frame moves through the day. 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 cannot stretch, it splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Letting a property close to Milford (Surrey) station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before booking

- How hidden problems are handled
- Which colour the sealant will be

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. In a small place like Ockford Ridge, 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.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
Ockford Ridge homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Loseley Park (about 4.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Ockford Ridge 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’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around St John the Evangelist's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Common questions in Ockford Ridge
Is Ockford Ridge within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Milford (Surrey) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How many windows can you do in a day?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We will tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Ockford Ridge, along with the rest of our area.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
What happens if it’s left?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Around Ockford Ridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
