What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a village or hamlet like Foxendown, 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 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
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Foxendown
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have white mastic on grey or black frames and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can put it right, on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and window sills alike.
In a village or hamlet like Foxendown, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

Common problems we fix in Foxendown
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Rented homes near Sole Street station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What to look for in a quote
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How hidden problems are handled
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep timber frames painted
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
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. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Windows and doors in Foxendown
Historic houses like Cobham College (about 1.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Foxendown has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Meopham Community Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
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.
Your questions about window mastic in Foxendown
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sole Street station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Foxendown within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
