Window mastic in South Merstham
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We’re often asked to deal with draughts coming in around windows and doors and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors.
Houses in smaller places like South Merstham can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

When to call us in South Merstham
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
If you look after a building such as Merstham Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

South Merstham homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Merstham station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you live in an older home near All Saints', frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a smaller place like South Merstham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are in most cases. In a smaller place like South Merstham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.

Related advice
Surface 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 suits the frame.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
