Window mastic for homes and businesses in Biggin
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We’re often asked to deal with rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and mastic that has split away from the wall, on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors.
In a village or hamlet like Biggin, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Biggin and everywhere else we cover.

For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Biggin, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Biggin, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work

Your questions about window mastic in Biggin
Does the coastal weather in Biggin affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tilbury Town station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Biggin, along with the rest of our area.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
That depends on the product. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before we start.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
What window mastic looks like in Biggin
Biggin is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Tilbury Pioneer Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Tilbury Town station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
