About our window mastic in Buckland
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We’re often asked to deal with cracked sealant at the sill ends and untidy mastic left by window fitters, across window sills, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows.
In a village or hamlet like Buckland, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

What else we do in Buckland
What we’re called out for in Buckland
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That’s what backing rod is for.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Black, perished sealant on frames
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Buckland Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Your questions about window mastic in Buckland
Do you cover smaller places like Buckland?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is window mastic in Buckland guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
What does window mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch and we will plan for it.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Buckland needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Windows and doors in Buckland
With historic houses such as Longworth House (about 2.6 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Buckland as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Roman Catholic Church of St George, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
