Questions from Snaresbrook
Is Snaresbrook in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Snaresbrook is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Wood Street station?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long will my window job take?
The work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
About our window mastic in Snaresbrook
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you are dealing with draughts coming in around windows and doors and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can put it right, on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows alike.
From mansion-block windows to modern glazing in new flats, London has every kind of frame. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Snaresbrook.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Snaresbrook as everywhere else we work.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.
What you get with us
- One-year guarantee on every job

What affects the cost of window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much there is to do
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
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’ll talk you through the work.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a job in Snaresbrook, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
What window mastic looks like in Snaresbrook
With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 2.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Snaresbrook as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Forest School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Wood Street station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter in the Forest, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
