- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Window mastic in Shere, done properly
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have white mastic on grey or black frames and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Shere, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Shere, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
What we are called out for in Shere
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
In the older streets around The Church of St James, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- Is VAT in the price?
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Common questions in Shere
Do you work for landlords with property near Gomshall station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Shere within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.

Does someone need to be in?

Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Shere 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Quotes for window mastic in Shere
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames

Windows and doors in Shere
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. Historic houses like Hatchlands Park (about 2.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Shere has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Shere CofE Aided Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Gomshall station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
