Your questions about window mastic in Redbridge
Will you come out to Redbridge?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chadwell Heath station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What window mastic looks like in Redbridge
With historic houses such as Hare Hall (about 3.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Redbridge as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Oasis Academy Pinewood? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Historic houses such as Hare Hall, about 3.4 miles south-east, show how far back building around Redbridge goes.

What affects the quote in Redbridge
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
We quote each job on its own. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep timber frames painted
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
Do you need window mastic in Redbridge?
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
If you let a flat or house near Chadwell Heath station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether VAT is included
Why deal with it now?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Redbridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal

- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
