DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Do you need window mastic in Westmill?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- What preparation is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which colour the sealant will be

Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a small place like Westmill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

What affects the cost of window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Your questions about window mastic in Westmill
Can you do window mastic in Westmill?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Westmill is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Westmill?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
That depends on the product. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you are decorating and we will choose accordingly.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.

- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
