Window Mastic in Brookland

- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
Why act early in Brookland
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Around Brookland, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

How we handle window mastic in Brookland
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We are often asked to deal with a bead that doesn’t match the frame and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, across timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows.
Somewhere as small as Brookland, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Brookland and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door in most cases.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Silicone can’t usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Do you need window mastic in Brookland?
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
If you let a flat or house near Appledore (Kent) station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it

- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

Common questions in Brookland
I let a flat near Appledore (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Brookland?
Yes, Brookland is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
