How we handle window mastic in Gun Hill
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for white mastic on grey or black frames and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and composite doors.
Homes in small places like Gun Hill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Gun Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- 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 about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels, and we’re fully insured.
Do you do commercial work?

What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
Signs you need window mastic in Gun Hill
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Around Gun Hill, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Are they insured?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

Gun Hill homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Horselunges Manor (about 1.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Gun Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

What happens if it’s left?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a small place like Gun Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
