About our window mastic in Guestling
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. We work on timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and window sills, and the jobs we see most are mastic that’s falling out in pieces and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
In a village or hamlet like Guestling, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Guestling questions
I let a flat near Three Oaks station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Guestling within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
What sealant do you use?
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.

What else we do in Guestling
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Working hours on commercial sites
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
For window mastic in Guestling, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and we will agree the price before any work begins.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Guestling, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Signs you need window mastic in Guestling
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Guestling Bradshaw Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Window mastic in Guestling: local notes
Guestling is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Three Oaks station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around St Laurence's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
