What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Barns Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How we handle window mastic in Barns Green
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. If you’re dealing with black, perished sealant on frames and untidy mastic left by window fitters, we can put it right, on composite doors, uPVC windows and window sills alike.
Somewhere as small as Barns Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Barns Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Window mastic in Barns Green: local notes

Schools such as Barns Green Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common questions in Barns Green
Can you do window mastic in Barns Green?
Yes, Barns Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Christs Hospital station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will use the nearest match.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Signs you need window mastic in Barns Green
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Rented homes near Christs Hospital station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Comparing quotes
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Which sealant suits the joint
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- If someone has resealed it before
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep timber frames painted
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
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.
