How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours, depending on how many joints need doing. In a small place like Beggar Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree the joints to be done.
- We cut away the failed silicone.
- The surfaces are cleaned with a suitable solvent.
- We apply and tool the new silicone.
- We inspect the work and test it where we can.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
How we handle glazing silicone in Beggar Hill
Glazing silicone that has yellowed, blackened or come away looks poor and can leak. It comes off cleanly, without marking the glass before the new bead goes in. If you are dealing with split or lifting silicone on glass and drips on the inside of a conservatory window, we can put it right.
Around Beggar Hill, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

When to call us in Beggar Hill
New silicone over old silicone will not bond. Plenty of leaks come from a quick top-up over the old bead, and water gets between the layers.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Leaking glazing joints on a rooflight
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Water tracking down the inner face of the glass
- Glass-to-glass joints that have split
If you let a flat or house near Ingatestone station, leaking glazing joints, shower screens or conservatory seals are worth sorting between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether they’re fully insured

Beggar Hill homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Ingatestone Hall (about 2.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Beggar Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Anglo European School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Common questions in Beggar Hill
Is Beggar Hill within the area you cover?
Yes. Beggar Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Beggar Hill in your area for glazing silicone?

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Beggar Hill, along with the rest of our area.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Yes. White, clear and grey are common, and other colours are available for many products, and we agree the colour with you before work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (a failed unit for a glazier)
- A broken pane or roof panel
- Leaks from the roof covering or flashing (a roofer’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Stick to mild cleaners on glass
- Wipe the screen down after showering
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Act on drips or damp patches early
Avoid scraping near the new silicone when you clean. Stick to a soft cloth.
Act on black or lifting silicone early. Once it starts to peel, water gets behind it and the leak gets worse.
Why it’s worth doing now in Beggar Hill
If the problem is a misted unit or a broken panel, sealant won’t help. We say so plainly and point you to a glazier or roofer. Older cottages and farmhouses around Beggar Hill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
