Window Mastic in Beansheaf Farm
Window and door frames in Beansheaf Farm need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Surface by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Window mastic in Beansheaf Farm, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are mastic that’s falling out in pieces and hard, cracked sealant around windows.
Houses in smaller places like Beansheaf Farm can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In an older home around Beansheaf Farm, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Beansheaf Farm questions
Is Beansheaf Farm within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Beansheaf Farm?
Yes, Beansheaf Farm is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
What window mastic looks like in Beansheaf Farm
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 3.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Beansheaf Farm 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.
If you let a flat or house near Theale station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a job in Beansheaf Farm, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

When to call us in Beansheaf Farm
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Schools such as Calcot Infant School and Nursery are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
