Window Mastic in Petersham

What the job involves on each surface

Timber windows & doors

On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.

uPVC windows

We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Windows and doors in Petersham

With historic houses such as Pembroke Lodge (about 0.5 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Petersham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so check that before booking.

As a London address, Petersham can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you let a flat or house near St Margarets (London) station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as The Russell Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
