Window mastic in Cudham

Homes in Cudham have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are cold air getting in at the frame edge and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.

Somewhere as small as Cudham, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish

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 does not work out, we can still put it right.

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Should I try DIY first?

Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.

The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.

Frames and glazing around Cudham

Historic houses like Down House (about 1.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Cudham 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. 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.

Rented homes near Chelsfield 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. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
  • A frame that has rotted at the joint
  • Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How we quote for window mastic

The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:

  • The old material and how stubborn it is
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • How easy the joints are to reach
  • The product the joint needs

There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

What we need to know

A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • A few pictures by email, if you can
  • Roughly how big the job is
  • The problem you’ve noticed
  • Any access issues, like height or stairs

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips

How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:

  • Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
  • Do not paint over the silicone
  • Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
  • Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant

Silicone cannot generally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. 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. Resealing closes it.

What we do, step by step

Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere as small as Cudham, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.

  1. We check how each frame can be reached safely.
  2. Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
  3. The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
  4. Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
  5. We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.

Getting ready for the visit

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Common problems we fix in Cudham

Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
  • Gaps left after new windows were fitted
  • Draughts coming in around windows and doors
  • Black, perished sealant on frames

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cudham Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
