Window mastic in Dormansland, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you have white mastic on grey or black frames and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Dormansland, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Dormansland needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- 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.

Window mastic in Dormansland: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Hammerwood Park (about 3.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Dormansland as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Dormansland Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
