How we handle window mastic in Woking
Around Woking we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you are dealing with mastic that’s falling out in pieces and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can put it right.
Town-centre flats, shops and offices in Woking have long runs of frames and glazing. Failed joints up there let in water that can go unnoticed for a while.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.
Woking: your questions answered
Can you do window mastic in Woking?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Woking is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is window mastic in Woking guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
What we are called out for in Woking
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
For landlords with property near Woking station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint

Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
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. A reseal is a much smaller job. In flats, shops and offices in Woking, a failed joint can let water into the unit below or behind a wall, where it can go unnoticed until the damage is done.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Woking homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Botleys Mansion (about 4.3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woking as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of St Mary of Bethany include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Goldsworth Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Advice
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
