Bardfield Saling homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Questions from Bardfield Saling
Do you cover Bardfield Saling for window mastic?
Yes, Bardfield Saling is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Bardfield Saling?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What we are called out for in Bardfield Saling
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Around Bardfield Saling, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Bardfield Saling, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Bardfield Saling

Surface by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that is what we find.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames in most cases. Somewhere like Bardfield Saling needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How we quote for window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Any mould that needs treating
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Roughly how big the job is
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
