About our window mastic in Bramling
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Bramling, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Windows and doors in Bramling
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. With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 2.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bramling as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Adisham station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. In the older streets around Church of St John, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Bramling, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
How to get a quote
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.

Signs you need window mastic in Bramling
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, 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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
If you look after a building such as Wingham Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep timber frames painted
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
