Can parking be tricky for a visit in Vale of Health?
In much of London, parking needs planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Vale of Health?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What we cannot put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Faulty window hardware
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Window mastic in Vale of Health: local notes
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 Heath House (about 0.1 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Vale of Health 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’s traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Hampstead Heath station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What happens if it’s left?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Vale of Health.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- 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.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Signs you need window mastic in Vale of Health
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, 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 most common problems we see are:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Vale of Health is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
- What product goes in the joint
