Windows and doors in Badlesmere
The South East is one of the drier parts 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 Belmont House and Gardens (about 1.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Badlesmere 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 Selling station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

About our window mastic in Badlesmere
Homes in Badlesmere have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We’re often asked to deal with black, perished sealant on frames and draughty joints inside around the window, on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and uPVC windows.
In a village or hamlet like Badlesmere, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for window mastic
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The amount of work
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- A few photos by email, if you can
Every job is quoted individually. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Why it’s worth doing now in Badlesmere
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Badlesmere, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Tidy, careful work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Your questions about window mastic in Badlesmere
Do you cover Badlesmere for window mastic?
Yes, Badlesmere is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Selling station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we will say so.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you need window mastic in Badlesmere?
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Sheldwich Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- What the cure time is
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Badlesmere, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
