Egerton Forstal Window Mastic
Problem with your window and door frames in Egerton Forstal? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
How we handle window mastic in Egerton Forstal
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and rushed sealant from a window installation.
In a village or hamlet like Egerton Forstal, 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.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
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 we pay close attention there.
When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint

Frames and glazing around Egerton Forstal
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St James, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Egerton Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Egerton Forstal, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

When to call us in Egerton Forstal
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For landlords with property near Pluckley station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
