About our window mastic in Bell's Corner
Around Bell's Corner we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you have cold air getting in at the frame edge and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Bell's Corner often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bell's Corner as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Check the mastic once a year
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.

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.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Bell's Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

FAQs for Bell's Corner
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Bell's Corner?
All our work, in Bell's Corner and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you cover Bell's Corner for window mastic?

Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. Those corners get the most care.
Common problems we fix in Bell's Corner
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
Schools such as Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Bell's Corner, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
