About our window mastic in Brands Hill
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. Common call-outs are for draughty joints inside around the window and mastic that has split away from the wall, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows.
Somewhere as small as Brands Hill, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Do you need window mastic in Brands Hill?
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Brands Hill: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sunnymeads station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Brands Hill?
Yes. Brands Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Most silicone cannot be painted. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Brands Hill?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
What window mastic looks like in Brands Hill
Historic houses like Frogmore House (about 2.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Brands Hill has older buildings as well as new. 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. 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.
Letting a property close to Sunnymeads station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you look after a building such as Colnbrook Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

What affects the quote in Brands Hill

- Whether the work is at height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number and length of the joints
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a village or hamlet like Brands Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
