What we are called out for in Willesden
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Window mastic in Willesden, done properly
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We’re often asked to deal with black, perished sealant on frames and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on window sills, aluminium frames and composite doors.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first, and access in Willesden is something to talk through when you book.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a London area like Willesden, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
Your questions about window mastic in Willesden
I let a flat near Kensal Rise station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Willesden?
Parking in Willesden, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
How much does window mastic cost in Willesden?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Do you come to Willesden?
Yes. We cover Willesden and the rest of Greater London. To book, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Why deal with it now?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, 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 Willesden.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

Willesden homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Fenton House (about 2.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Willesden as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Kensal Rise station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like St Andrew and St Francis CofE Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
