Window mastic in Marden's Hill

Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. Typical jobs include sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall, on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.

In a village or hamlet like Marden's Hill, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

Our work is backed for twelve months.

DIY versus a professional finish

A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Aftercare tips

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
  • Look round the frames every year or so
  • Keep timber frames painted
  • Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows

On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.

Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.

How the visit works

The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Marden's Hill, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
  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. The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Mention any tricky access

Questions from Marden's Hill

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Crowborough station?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Do you cover smaller places like Marden's Hill?

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.

Will it make a mess?

Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.

What does window mastic cost?

It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.

Does someone need to be in?

That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.

Can you do the inside joint as well?

Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.

Is it worth trying it myself?

Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Why it’s worth doing now in Marden's Hill

If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Older cottages and farmhouses around Marden's Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Why us?

  • A 12-month guarantee on all work
  • Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
  • ARBOMaster approved applicator
  • Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

What window mastic looks like in Marden's Hill

With historic houses such as Groombridge Place (about 3.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Marden's Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

In the older streets around St John's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as St John's Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

When to call us in Marden's Hill

Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.

Look out for these signs:

  • Draughts coming in around windows and doors
  • A bead that doesn’t match the frame
  • Mastic that is falling out in pieces
  • Gaps where the sill meets the wall

Letting a property close to Crowborough station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
