About our window mastic in Broadwater Down
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about gaps where the sill meets the wall and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster.
Homes around Broadwater Down range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What we’re called out for in Broadwater Down
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For landlords with property near Tunbridge Wells station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
Frames and glazing around Broadwater Down
Historic houses like Groombridge Place (about 2.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Broadwater Down has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
Managing a site like Broadwater Down Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around St Mark's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf usually come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
What we cannot put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Faulty window hardware
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, including the tidy-up. In a smaller place like Broadwater Down, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
