How we handle window mastic in Brookstreet
Homes in Brookstreet have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are cold air getting in at the frame edge and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Homes in small places like Brookstreet often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why act early in Brookstreet
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Brookstreet can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. We use a neutral-cure product.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
What window mastic looks like in Brookstreet
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

When to call us in Brookstreet
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Look out for these signs:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Flitch Green Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
