Window mastic near South Norwood

How the visit works

The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in South Norwood, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.

  1. First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
  2. Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
  3. The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
  4. Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
  5. We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
  • Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Window mastic in South Norwood

The new joint does not have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We are often asked to deal with white mastic on grey or black frames and gaps where the sill meets the wall, across timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and aluminium frames.

London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first.

Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in South Norwood and across Greater London.

What the job involves on each surface

Aluminium frames

Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. We use a neutral-cure product.

Composite doors

Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.

For landlords and businesses

Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

Frames and glazing around South Norwood

Historic houses like Kingswood House (about 2.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around South Norwood has older buildings as well as new. 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. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.

As a London address, South Norwood can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What sealant work can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
  • Broken hinges, locks or handles
  • A frame that has rotted at the joint

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

When to call us in South Norwood

Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • Black, perished sealant on frames
  • Leaking joints at the ends of sills
  • White mastic on grey or black frames
  • Cold air getting in at the frame edge

Rented homes near Norwood Junction station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

  • What product goes in the joint
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • Is the old sealant removed completely?

How to choose a mastic man

How we quote for window mastic

Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • The size of the job
  • Working hours on commercial sites

Every job is a little different, 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, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Asking for a quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

  • Any access issues, like height or stairs
  • The address or postcode of the job
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

Need a quote? Please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the job. We will explain what we’d do and send you a clear quote before work begins.

Can I do it myself?

If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
