Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Beacon's Bottom can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

What affects the cost of window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before we start.
Questions from Beacon's Bottom
Do you cover smaller places like Beacon's Bottom?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Saunderton station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Beacon's Bottom, 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.
- 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
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.

Common problems we fix in Beacon's Bottom
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Schools such as The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
Frames and glazing around Beacon's Bottom

Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
