Bekesbourne homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3.3 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bekesbourne 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. 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.
Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as St. Anselm's Catholic School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

About our window mastic in Bekesbourne
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.
In a village or hamlet like Bekesbourne, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Common questions in Bekesbourne
Do you cover smaller places like Bekesbourne?
Yes. Bekesbourne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bekesbourne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

- Where the job is, and your postcode

Why deal with it now?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bekesbourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we’re called out for in Bekesbourne
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who turns up on the day
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Check the mastic once a year
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Bekesbourne, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
