About our window mastic in Shipley Bridge
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Common call-outs are for gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and black, perished sealant on frames, on uPVC windows, window sills and aluminium frames.
Around Shipley Bridge, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Different surfaces, different methods
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 suits the frame.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
Quotes for window mastic in Shipley Bridge
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Roughly how big the job is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The type of property
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Do you need window mastic in Shipley Bridge?
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Homes close to Church of St Bartholomew include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What happens on the day
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a village or hamlet like Shipley Bridge, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Shipley Bridge
Do you cover smaller places like Shipley Bridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
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.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

For landlords with property near Gatwick Airport station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like Forge Wood Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
