About our window mastic in Abbey Gate
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Common call-outs are for white mastic on grey or black frames and gaps where the sill meets the wall, on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors.
In a village or hamlet like Abbey Gate, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep timber frames painted
- Check the mastic once a year
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Why it’s worth doing now in Abbey Gate
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Abbey Gate, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Abbey Gate, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- 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.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What window mastic looks like in Abbey Gate
Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 4.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Abbey Gate has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to St Paul's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Maidstone East 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. Managing a site like Sandling Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Abbey Gate: your questions answered
Do you cover Abbey Gate for window mastic?
Yes, Abbey Gate is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Abbey Gate?
Yes. Abbey Gate is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we will say so.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Abbey Gate, along with the rest of our area.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
