FAQs for Coldharbour
Can you do window mastic in Coldharbour?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Coldharbour is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Coldharbour within the area you cover?
Yes, Coldharbour is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before we start.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

What else we do in Coldharbour
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a village or hamlet like Coldharbour, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
What affects the cost of window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether the work is at height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
We do not publish a price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you need window mastic in Coldharbour?
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Coldharbour, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Coldharbour homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Ightham Mote (about 2.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Coldharbour as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Managing a site like St Margaret Clitherow Catholic Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Hildenborough station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
