Surface by surface
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
About our window mastic in Coxheath
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. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on window sills, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are rushed sealant from a window installation and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
Around Coxheath, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Coxheath
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. Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 3.7 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Coxheath 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.
Schools such as Coxheath Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Coxheath is about 3 miles south-west of Maidstone, in Kent.

Why act early in Coxheath
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Homes in smaller places like Coxheath can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a job in Coxheath, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Faulty window hardware
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.

There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Kent.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we will say so.
When to call us in Coxheath
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Rented homes near East Farleigh station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- What insurance they hold
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
