How we handle window mastic in Balls Green
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. Typical jobs include rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and untidy mastic left by window fitters, on window sills, composite doors and uPVC windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Balls Green is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

When to call us in Balls Green
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- White mastic on grey or black frames
Rented homes near Ashurst Kent station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How much experience the applicator has
What sealant work cannot fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Balls Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Frames and glazing around Balls Green
With historic houses such as Bassetts Manor (about 2.2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Balls Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near The church of St Michael and All Angels, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as St Michael's Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What affects the quote in Balls Green
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will take it from there.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Silicone can’t usually be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
