FAQs for West End Green
I let a flat near Bramley (Hants) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover West End Green for window mastic?
Yes, West End Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Window mastic in West End Green
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t 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 composite doors, patio & French doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after new windows were fitted and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Somewhere as small as West End Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What we are called out for in West End Green
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Stratfield Saye House, about 2 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around West End Green, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- What guarantee comes with the work
Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West End Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere as small as West End Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
What window mastic looks like in West End Green
With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (about 2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West End Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
