Frames and glazing around Folly Town
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wye School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Wye station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

How we handle window mastic in Folly Town
Homes in Folly Town have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you’re dealing with gaps where the sill meets the wall and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Folly Town, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t 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 there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

More services for Folly Town
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. Those corners get the most care.
When to call us in Folly Town
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What affects the cost of window mastic

- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site

A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Is there any odour?

What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long will my window job take?
Allow anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Faulty window hardware
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Folly Town, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
