Bunce Common Window Mastic
Window mastic in Bunce Common from a team with over 20 years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Do you need window mastic in Bunce Common?
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Window mastic in Bunce Common, done properly
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. If you are dealing with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and draughty joints inside around the window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Bunce Common 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.

Honest limits
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Frames and glazing around Bunce Common
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Betchworth station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What happens if it’s left?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Bunce Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
