How we handle window mastic in Puddledock
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you’re dealing with mastic that has split away from the wall and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can help, on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and composite doors alike.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first, and access in Puddledock is something to talk through when you book.

Questions from Puddledock
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edenbridge station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Puddledock?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months, inside or out.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Windows and doors in Puddledock
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Letting a property close to Edenbridge station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Puddledock is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. In the older streets around Holy Trinity Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Puddledock, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In Puddledock, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.

- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Puddledock
- Timber windows & doors

How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
