Window mastic in Bedgebury Cross
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and window sills, and people most often call us about rushed sealant from a window installation and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Bedgebury Cross is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.

Advice
What window mastic looks like in Bedgebury Cross
With historic houses such as Scotney Castle (about 1.8 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bedgebury Cross as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Bedgebury Cross, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Common questions in Bedgebury Cross
Is Bedgebury Cross in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Bedgebury Cross is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.

Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll explain our choice.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Do you need window mastic in Bedgebury Cross?
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
In the older streets around Christ Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Around Bedgebury Cross, older homes often have timber in their 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’s why we ask a few questions first.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

- Homes, businesses and hotels

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Faulty window hardware
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
