Common questions in Skeete
Is Skeete in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Skeete is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Skeete?
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.
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.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Skeete
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. 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. Typical jobs include draughty joints inside around the window and whistling draughts around closed windows, across aluminium frames, window sills and timber windows & doors.
Homes in small places like Skeete often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.

What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list. What we look at:
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The type of property
For window mastic in Skeete, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Older cottages and farmhouses around Skeete can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

What window mastic looks like in Skeete
Historic houses like Westenhanger Castle (about 2.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Skeete has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Westenhanger Castle, about 2.7 miles south-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Skeete, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls. Managing a site like Stowting Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
