Abinger Hammer Window Mastic
Professional window mastic in and around Abinger Hammer, with old sealant always removed completely and a one-year guarantee.
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Abinger Hammer
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about old mastic that has gone black or come away and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
In a village or hamlet like Abinger Hammer, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Faulty window hardware
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Abinger Hammer homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Hatchlands Park (about 3.3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Abinger Hammer has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

Why it’s worth doing now in Abinger Hammer
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. The old mastic has to come out. Around Abinger Hammer, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Abinger Hammer, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
