Crockenhill Window Mastic
We cover Crockenhill for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Crockenhill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Crockenhill
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Common call-outs are for hard, cracked sealant around windows and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, on window sills, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
Homes in small places like Crockenhill 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Frames and glazing around Crockenhill
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Lullingstone Castle (about 2.3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Crockenhill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Swanley station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you live in an older home near Church of All Souls, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Crockenhill Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What else we do in Crockenhill
Crockenhill questions
I let a flat near Swanley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Crockenhill for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Crockenhill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Crockenhill, along with the rest of our area.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, for 12 months. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
What affects the quote in Crockenhill
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Why act early in Crockenhill
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crockenhill can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
