Window mastic in Chainhurst
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Typical jobs include untidy mastic left by window fitters and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, on timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and window sills.
Somewhere as small as Chainhurst, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not 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 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Chainhurst, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear the area around the work

What window mastic looks like in Chainhurst
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.
Rented homes near Marden station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. In and around Chainhurst, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
What to tell us for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Chainhurst
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chainhurst can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Old sealant always removed completely

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
If you manage several properties in or around Chainhurst, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
