Sole Street Window Mastic
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors in Sole Street, with a 12-month guarantee on every job. Ask us for a quote.
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
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.
Window mastic in Sole Street, done properly
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you have leaking joints at the ends of sills and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Sole Street is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Sole Street as everywhere else we work.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sole Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames for a typical job. In a small place like Sole Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first

Is it worth trying it myself?

Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
How long will my window job take?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.

What else we do in Sole Street
Sole Street homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Cobham College (about 0.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sole Street as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Cobham Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to St Mary's Room include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Sole Street station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
