About our window mastic in Wanstead
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. If you have gaps where the sill meets the wall and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, we can help, on composite doors, patio & French doors and window sills alike.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. In a converted house or block, the lease generally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Wanstead questions
Can you do window mastic in Wanstead?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wanstead is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Leytonstone High Road station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
Can I do it myself?
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’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

It helps to know what we can’t do:

Common problems we fix in Wanstead
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- A bead that does not match the frame
Wanstead is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Are they insured?
Surface by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Frames and glazing around Wanstead
Historic houses like Valentines Mansion (about 1.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Wanstead has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so check that before booking.
For landlords with property near Leytonstone High Road station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like Wanstead Church School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
