Window mastic in Wallington

How we handle window mastic in Wallington

Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Typical jobs include a bead that doesn’t match the frame and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and composite doors.

Homes in small places like Wallington often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
  • Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
  • Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
  • Check the mastic once a year

On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.

Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.

How the job changes by surface

Timber windows & doors

Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.

Patio & French doors

Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.

Wallington questions

Will you come out to Wallington?

Yes, Wallington is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

I let a flat near Ashwell & Morden station. Can you help?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 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.

Are you an approved applicator?

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.

Where do you work from?

Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Wallington and the rest of Hertfordshire.

Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?

Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

Is it worth trying it myself?

It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

How do I get a quote for window mastic in Wallington?

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before any work starts.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
  • Broken hinges, locks or handles
  • Soft or decayed wood in the frame

If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Timber windows & doors
  • Aluminium frames
  • uPVC windows
  • Window sills
  • Patio & French doors
  • Composite doors

Should I try it myself first?

If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Frames and glazing around Wallington

With historic houses such as Hinxworth Place (about 4.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wallington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Letting a property close to Ashwell & Morden station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Signs you need window mastic in Wallington

On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Gaps where the sill meets the wall
  • Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
  • Old mastic that has gone black or come away
  • Hard, cracked sealant around windows

Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

How to choose a mastic man

Leave it or put it right?

Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wallington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Why us?

  • We never seal over old sealant
  • A 12-month guarantee on all work
  • A choice of colours where the product allows
  • A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

How the visit works

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Wallington, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We start by checking each window and door with you.
  2. Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
  3. Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
  4. We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
  5. Finally we tidy up and check each joint.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if parking is tricky
  • Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How to get a quote
