Window mastic in Becontree Heath, done properly
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We’re often asked to deal with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows, on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors.
London homes have every kind of window, from timber sashes in period terraces to aluminium and uPVC in newer blocks. The mastic around them dries out and cracks with age, which is when draughts and damp patches appear in homes in Becontree Heath.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Becontree Heath questions
Is Becontree Heath in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Becontree Heath is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near Chadwell Heath station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How many windows can you do in a day?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

When to call us in Becontree Heath
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
As a London address, Becontree Heath can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and the area is left clean. For a job in Becontree Heath, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we’re working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- 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
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What window mastic looks like in Becontree Heath
With historic houses such as Hare Hall (about 2.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Becontree Heath as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Hartley Brook Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Chadwell Heath 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.
