How we handle window mastic in Upton Grey
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. We work on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and window sills, and people most often call us about gaps where the sill meets the wall and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Around Upton Grey, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.

Window mastic in Upton Grey: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

Signs you need window mastic in Upton Grey
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame

Why it’s worth doing now in Upton Grey
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Upton Grey, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Questions from Upton Grey
Will you come out to Upton Grey?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Upton Grey, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
