Window mastic for homes and businesses in Chavey Down
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you have untidy mastic left by window fitters and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Chavey Down is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

- Damp problems in the wall away from the window

About window & door mastic
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door from start to finish. In a small place like Chavey Down, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
What we’re called out for in Chavey Down
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Letting a property close to Martins Heron station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Chavey Down, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Chavey Down
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We agree the colour with you first
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Questions from Chavey Down
Can you do window mastic in Chavey Down?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chavey Down is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Martins Heron station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Frames and glazing around Chavey Down
Historic houses like St Leonard's Hill (about 4.3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Chavey Down has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Martin's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Chavey Down
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
