About our window mastic in Further Quarter
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Typical jobs include rushed sealant from a window installation and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, across uPVC windows, composite doors and patio & French doors.
In a village or hamlet like Further Quarter, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Common questions in Further Quarter
Do you work for landlords with property near Pluckley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you do window mastic in Further Quarter?
Yes, Further Quarter is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Common problems we fix in Further Quarter
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Letting a property close to Pluckley station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Why it’s worth doing now in Further Quarter
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Further Quarter, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In a small place like Further Quarter, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

Surface by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
