About our window mastic in Budds
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Budds. Common call-outs are for untidy mastic left by window fitters and draughty joints inside around the window, across timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and window sills.
Homes in small places like Budds often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Budds can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

Signs you need window mastic in Budds
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Rented homes near Hildenborough station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- Are they insured?
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
Windows and doors in Budds
With historic houses such as Ightham Mote (about 0.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Budds as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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.
Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Shipbourne School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Budds: your questions answered
Can you do window mastic in Budds?
Yes, Budds is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Budds?
Yes, Budds is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
How long will my window job take?
Allow a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Budds and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a village or hamlet like Budds, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
