How we handle window mastic in Oliver's Battery

Around Oliver's Battery we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We’re often asked to deal with untidy mastic left by window fitters and draughty joints inside around the window, on patio & French doors, composite doors and aluminium frames.

Around Oliver's Battery, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How we quote for window mastic

There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • The size of the job
  • The product the joint needs
  • Any mould that needs treating

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What to tell us for a quote

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:

  • Roughly how big the job is
  • If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
  • Where the job is, and your postcode
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Should I try it myself first?

A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.

What window mastic looks like in Oliver's Battery

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.

For an older house near a landmark such as Saint Mark's, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Olivers Battery Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Shawford station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Is Oliver's Battery within the area you cover?

Yes. Oliver's Battery is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Can you seal over the old sealant?

No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house from start to finish. In a small place like Oliver's Battery, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.

Surface by surface

Aluminium frames

Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.

uPVC windows

Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.

What happens if it’s left?

The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Oliver's Battery can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Aftercare tips

Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:

  • Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
  • Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
  • Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
  • Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows

Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.

Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
