About our window mastic in Upper Walthamstow
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are 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. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Upper Walthamstow as anywhere.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Frames and glazing around Upper Walthamstow
With historic houses such as Valentines Mansion (about 2.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Walthamstow as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is 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 live in an older home near Church of St Peter in the Forest, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Upper Walthamstow is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

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 the joint depth matters as much as the 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.
Landlord and commercial work in Upper Walthamstow
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Landlords and agents in Upper Walthamstow can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Upper Walthamstow, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on how much there is to do. In Upper Walthamstow, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Common problems we fix in Upper Walthamstow
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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Schools such as The Woodside Primary Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We’ll point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
