For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
About our window mastic in Southgate
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you are dealing with mastic that has split away from the wall and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Southgate, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Frames and glazing around Southgate
Historic houses like Tyes Place (about 5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Southgate 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 is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to St Mary's include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Southgate Primary, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

FAQs for Southgate
Do you work for landlords with property near Crawley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Southgate?
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.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Southgate?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a smaller place like Southgate, 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.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Signs you need window mastic in Southgate
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Rented homes near Crawley station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they’re fully insured
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
What affects the cost of window mastic
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is

How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. A visit to Southgate is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
