About our window mastic in Broad Ford
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include gaps where the sill meets the wall and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
In a village or hamlet like Broad Ford, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Broad Ford and across Kent.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep timber frames painted
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
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.

Do you need window mastic in Broad Ford?
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Homes close to Church of St Margaret include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Broad Ford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Your questions about window mastic in Broad Ford
Is Broad Ford within the area you cover?
Yes, Broad Ford is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Marden station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Frames and glazing around Broad Ford
Historic houses like Scotney Castle (about 3.1 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Broad Ford 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Horsmonden Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Marden station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broad Ford
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In a small place like Broad Ford, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
