What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A frame that has rotted at the joint

Window mastic in Barfrestone
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. If you are dealing with hard, cracked sealant around windows and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can help, on uPVC windows, composite doors and patio & French doors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Barfrestone, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

FAQs for Barfrestone
Do you work for landlords with property near Shepherds Well station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do window mastic in Barfrestone?
Yes, Barfrestone is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Barfrestone and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Why act early in Barfrestone
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Barfrestone can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Barfrestone, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- 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
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.

Common problems we fix in Barfrestone
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether VAT is included
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Window mastic in Barfrestone: local notes
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 2.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Barfrestone has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
For landlords with property near Shepherds Well station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you look after a building such as Eythorne Elvington Community Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
