Common questions in St Leonards
Is St Leonards within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you cover St Leonards for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and St Leonards is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in St Leonards?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we are fully insured.
Window mastic in St Leonards, done properly
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you are dealing with cold air getting in at the frame edge and cracked sealant at the sill ends, we can help, on aluminium frames, composite doors and uPVC windows alike.
In a village or hamlet like St Leonards, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in St Leonards
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Older cottages and farmhouses around St Leonards can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Colour picked to suit the job

What else we do in St Leonards
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like St Leonards needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
How to get a quote
Every job is quoted individually. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
Common problems we fix in St Leonards
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
For landlords with property near Wendover station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Windows and doors in St Leonards
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. Historic houses like Cholesbury Manor House (about 1.1 miles east) are a reminder that the area around St Leonards has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We’ll point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
