Surrey Quays homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Queen's House (about 1.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Surrey Quays 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near St Katharine with St Bartholomew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Surrey Quays station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Surrey Quays
Around Surrey Quays we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are untidy mastic left by window fitters and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
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 Surrey Quays as anywhere.

How we quote for window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
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.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a London area like Surrey Quays, the main things to plan are parking and access: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
If you are 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. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
What we’re called out for in Surrey Quays
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Surrey Quays is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- How the colour is chosen
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
