Window Mastic in Markbeech
Problem with your window and door frames in Markbeech? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Black, perished sealant on frames
About our window mastic in Markbeech
Around Markbeech we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps left after new windows were fitted.
Somewhere as small as Markbeech, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Signs you need window mastic in Markbeech
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How the colour is chosen

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What affects the quote in Markbeech
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Window mastic in Markbeech: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Hever Castle (about 1.3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Markbeech as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Cowden 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. If you look after a building such as Hever Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house for a typical job. In a small place like Markbeech, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
