Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Beech Hill
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We work on composite doors, window sills and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant at the sill ends and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Somewhere as small as Beech Hill, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.

Do you need window mastic in Beech Hill?
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Managing a site like Lambs Lane Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What window mastic looks like in Beech Hill
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (about 1.7 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Beech Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Mortimer station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

FAQs for Beech Hill
Do you cover Beech Hill for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Beech Hill is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Beech Hill?
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.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What affects the quote in Beech Hill
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.

What else we do in Beech Hill
Why act early in Beech Hill
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Beech Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
