Window Mastic in Medway

Our window mastic service in Medway

From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the number of frames and any access details for window mastic in Medway. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and composite doors, and people most often call us about rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.

Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door.

  1. First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
  2. Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
  3. Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
  4. Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
  5. The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.

Local landmarks in Gillingham

Around Gillingham, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Robert Napier School, Featherby Junior School and The Robert Napier School, among other places. Nearby too are Holy Trinity Church (within half a mile north-east), The Star pub (0.6 miles west) and Ambley Wood (0.8 miles south). Gillingham’s nearest station is Gillingham (Kent) station, roughly 1.5 miles north-west of the centre.

Windows and doors across Medway

Homes across Medway range from period properties with timber or sash windows to new builds with uPVC. Walls facing the weather take the most punishment.

Most of the South East has hard water, so limescale builds up on sealant, grout and fittings. For any job in Medway, joints are cleaned back properly before anything new goes in. Coastal guest houses and holiday lets in Medway can see heavy use in busy months, which is hard on sealant and grout.

Gillingham: If you let a flat or house near Gillingham (Kent) station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as Featherby Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Signs you need window mastic

Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.

If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:

  • Whistling draughts around closed windows
  • Cracked sealant at the sill ends
  • A bead that does not match the frame
  • Rushed sealant from a window installation

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Landlords and letting agents in Medway can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.

For anyone letting property in or around Medway, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and pictures by email help.

Leave it or put it right?

A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Which sealant they’ll use, and why
  • Who does the work, and how experienced they are
  • How the joint is cleaned and prepared
  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first

Different surfaces, different methods

Aluminium frames

Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.

Window sills

Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.

Your questions about window mastic in Medway

What do you need from me for a quote?

Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Do the sealants smell?

It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.

Will it make a mess?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.

Do you guarantee window mastic?

Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.

Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?

Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.

Do you remove the old sealant?

Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
