How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Bough Beech
Homes in Bough Beech have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you have cold air getting in at the frame edge and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can help.
Around Bough Beech, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Bough Beech
Do you work for landlords with property near Hever station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Bough Beech for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bough Beech is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before we start.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bough Beech can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep timber frames painted
- Check the mastic once a year
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.

With historic houses such as Hever Castle (about 1.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bough Beech as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.

- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
