Window mastic in Budlett's Common
Homes in Budlett's Common have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Common call-outs are for untidy mastic left by window fitters and draughty joints inside around the window, across window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors.
Somewhere as small as Budlett's Common, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Check the mastic once a year
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:

Signs you need window mastic in Budlett's Common
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The most common problems we see are:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
If you live in an older home near Five Ash Down Independent Chapel, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
