Window mastic for homes and businesses in Pitland Street
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you’re dealing with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and hard, cracked sealant around windows, we can help, on timber windows & doors, window sills and uPVC windows alike.
Somewhere as small as Pitland Street, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Pitland Street homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Gomshall station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like Belmont Prep School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why act early in Pitland Street
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In a small place like Pitland Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Pitland Street
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
When to call us in Pitland Street
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
If you live in an older home near St Mary The Virgins Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long to leave it before use
What affects the cost of window mastic

- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints

Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the property is
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
