- Draughty joints inside around the window
How we handle window mastic in Harbourland
The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We are often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and draughts coming in around windows and doors, on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors.
In a village or hamlet like Harbourland, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Frames and glazing around Harbourland
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 3.3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Harbourland 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.
For landlords with property near Maidstone East station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.
Landlord and commercial work in Harbourland
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Harbourland, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
Why act early in Harbourland
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. In a small place like Harbourland, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Harbourland, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
Do you need window mastic in Harbourland?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Schools such as Sandling Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Your questions about window mastic in Harbourland
Do you work for landlords with property near Maidstone East station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Harbourland 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 should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
