Questions from Baythorne End
Will you come out to Baythorne End?
Yes, Baythorne End is covered. 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 you do window mastic in Baythorne End?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Baythorne End is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How we handle window mastic in Baythorne End
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you have gaps left after new windows were fitted and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can put it right, on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Baythorne End is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

What window mastic looks like in Baythorne End
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Leonard, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Signs you need window mastic in Baythorne End
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stoke College, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long the guarantee is
Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a small place like Baythorne End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Baythorne End, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. 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.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
