Window mastic in Barham
Homes in Barham have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We are often asked to deal with water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and gaps left after new windows were fitted, across timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Around Barham, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Frames and glazing around Barham
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 3.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Barham 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.
For landlords with property near Snowdown station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as Barham Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Barham, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

When to call us in Barham
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Homes close to Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Other services in Barham
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What sealant work cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Faulty window hardware
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
