Window Mastic in Bessels Green

How we handle window mastic in Bessels Green
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If you have cold air getting in at the frame edge and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, we can help, on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors alike.
Around Bessels Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Window mastic in Bessels Green: local notes
Historic houses like Knole House (about 2.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Bessels Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, 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.
Schools such as Riverhead Infants' School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Chapel of the Good Shepherd, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Sevenoaks station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Bessels Green needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What affects the quote in Bessels Green
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What we can’t put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
Surface by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bessels Green
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. In a small place like Bessels Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
