Why it’s worth doing now in Sands End
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Window mastic in Sands End
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We’re often asked to deal with gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, on window sills, composite doors and aluminium frames.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Sands End is something to talk through when you book.

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In Sands End, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Common questions in Sands End
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Imperial Wharf station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Sands End?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How many windows can you do in a day?
Allow a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Window mastic in Sands End: local notes
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. As a London address, Sands End can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Letting a property close to Imperial Wharf station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
