DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Window mastic in Sutton Common
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We are often asked to deal with cold air getting in at the frame edge and old mastic that has gone black or come away, on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. Over the years, the sealant around them shrinks, cracks and pulls away, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Sutton Common.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble for homes in Sutton Common.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Faulty window hardware
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

What else we do in Sutton Common
What we’re called out for in Sutton Common
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Homes close to St Lawrence Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In Sutton Common, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. 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.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in

What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
What window mastic looks like in Sutton Common
With historic houses such as Nonsuch Mansion (about 2.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sutton Common as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. In a converted house or block, who looks after the windows depends on the lease, so it’s worth checking before booking.
If you look after a building such as Abbey Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Sutton Common is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
