Window Mastic in Drellingore
Window mastic across Drellingore and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.

- Whistling draughts around closed windows
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Drellingore
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have mastic that’s falling out in pieces and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can help, on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and window sills alike.
Homes in small places like Drellingore often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Drellingore: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Folkestone Central station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover smaller places like Drellingore?
Yes, Drellingore is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
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 do one or both.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Drellingore, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
What we’re called out for in Drellingore
Every frame moves through the day. 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:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What affects the quote in Drellingore
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY versus a professional 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Windows and doors in Drellingore
Drellingore is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
Rented homes near Folkestone Central station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
