When to call us in Surbiton
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That’s what backing rod is for.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Letting a property close to Surbiton station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Window mastic in Surbiton, done properly
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you are dealing with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can put it right.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease usually says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Surbiton is something to talk through when you book.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are and we leave things clean and tidy. In Surbiton, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. 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.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Frames and glazing around Surbiton
In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking. With historic houses such as Hampton Court Palace (about 1.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Surbiton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. As a London address, Surbiton can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Surbiton: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Surbiton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is parking a problem for a job in Surbiton?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A handful of frames is a short visit, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.
