FAQs for Shawford
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shawford station?

Can you do window mastic in Shawford?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Shawford is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
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.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we will say so.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What does window mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone can’t be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Window mastic in Shawford
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Typical jobs include untidy mastic left by window fitters and white mastic on grey or black frames, across aluminium frames, composite doors and patio & French doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Shawford is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shawford
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shawford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How we quote for window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Shawford
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

What window mastic looks like in Shawford
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.
If you look after a building such as Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Shawford station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Shawford, the journey is planned in advance: 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 go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
