Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Beckenham
The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Common call-outs are for mastic that has split away from the wall and cold air getting in at the frame edge, on composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
London’s Victorian and Edwardian terraces were built with timber sash windows, and many still have them or their replacements. Whatever is in the opening now, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps the weather out, in Beckenham as anywhere.

Windows and doors in Beckenham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Bromley Palace (about 2.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Beckenham as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as Christ Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Beckenham is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Schools such as Harris Primary Academy Beckenham Green are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

The process

In Beckenham, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
