Window mastic in Ramsnest Common, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Typical jobs include cold air getting in at the frame edge and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, across uPVC windows, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Somewhere as small as Ramsnest Common, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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.
Ramsnest Common questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Witley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Ramsnest Common in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Ramsnest Common is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Where we work in Ramsnest Common
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work starts. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Ramsnest Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Why act early in Ramsnest Common
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ramsnest Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
