What window mastic looks like in St Margarets
With historic houses such as Richmond House (about 1 mile south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around St Margarets as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

About our window mastic in St Margarets
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Typical jobs include white mastic on grey or black frames and gaps where the sill meets the wall, on aluminium frames, window sills and composite doors.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Either way, the mastic between frame and brickwork is what stops draughts and rain getting in, in St Margarets as anywhere.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in St Margarets as everywhere else we work.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
The process
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
Do you need window mastic in St Margarets?
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
As a London address, St Margarets can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Landlord and commercial work in St Margarets

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
St Margarets questions
Is parking an issue for window mastic in St Margarets?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near St Margarets (London) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What we cannot put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, and a slow leak from a failed seal can end up in the flat below. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in St Margarets.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
