Frames and glazing around Dungate
With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 4.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Dungate as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Catherine, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Milstead and Frinsted Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Sittingbourne station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.
What affects the quote in Dungate
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In a small place like Dungate, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

FAQs for Dungate
Is Dungate in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Dungate is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sittingbourne station?

What does window mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before we start.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Normally, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will use the nearest match.
Where are you based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Dungate, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
