- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
How we handle window mastic in Flackley Ash
Frames and walls do not move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on timber windows & doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Somewhere as small as Flackley Ash, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Do you need window mastic in Flackley Ash?
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
If you let a flat or house near Rye station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Frames and glazing around Flackley Ash
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. With historic houses such as Lamb House (about 3.2 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Flackley Ash as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peasmarsh Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before we start.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Why it’s worth doing now in Flackley Ash
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Around Flackley Ash, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
