Window & door mastic in Stanmore, Greater London
Window and door frames in Stanmore need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
About our window mastic in Stanmore
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and composite doors, and people most often call us about mastic that has split away from the wall and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.

- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- White mastic on grey or black frames

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Stanmore. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

What should I tell you?

Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Stanmore homes and the weather
In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before you book. Historic houses like Headstone Manor (about 2.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Stanmore 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.
Homes close to Church of St John include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Whitchurch Primary School & Nursery are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
