How we handle window mastic in Sydenham Hill
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are rain getting in at the frame or under the sill 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 Sydenham Hill as anywhere.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.

What affects the quote in Sydenham Hill
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
Rather than a set price list, 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.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
- The address or postcode of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Window mastic in Sydenham Hill: local notes
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. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking.
As a London address, Sydenham Hill can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. If you let a flat or house near Sydenham Hill station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

When to call us in Sydenham Hill
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
If you look after a building such as Kelvin Grove Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Sydenham Hill questions
Is Sydenham Hill in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Sydenham Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sydenham Hill station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally will not take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few photos.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sydenham Hill
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
