Window mastic for Heart's Delight homes and businesses

How we handle window mastic in Heart's Delight

Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you’re dealing with hard, cracked sealant around windows and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can put it right, on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and composite doors alike.

Around Heart's Delight, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

  • A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
  • Condensation trapped between the panes
  • Soft or decayed wood in the frame

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Joints and surfaces we work on

  • Timber windows & doors
  • Composite doors
  • uPVC windows
  • Aluminium frames
  • Patio & French doors
  • Window sills

How to look after the new joints

Aftercare is simple:

  • Wash the frames with mild soapy water
  • Do not paint over the silicone
  • Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
  • Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked

Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.

Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

FAQs for Heart's Delight

I let a flat near Sittingbourne station. Can you help?

Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Do you cover Heart's Delight for window mastic?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Heart's Delight is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.

Can resealing stop a draught around my window?

If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.

What does window mastic cost?

We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.

Do you do commercial work?

Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.

Does someone need to be in?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.

Does the work come with a guarantee?

Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, inside or out.

How the visit works

Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are and we leave things clean and tidy. Somewhere like Heart's Delight needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. First we look at every frame and agree the list.
  2. We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
  3. Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
  4. New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
  5. Finally we tidy up and check each joint.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Clear the area around the work
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Different surfaces, different methods

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.

Aluminium frames

Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Frames and glazing around Heart's Delight

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

Letting a property close to Sittingbourne station? Then 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 Church of St Peter and St Paul, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Minterne Community Junior School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Heart's Delight

A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Heart's Delight can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
