Frames and glazing around Herne Pound
With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (about 2.5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Herne Pound as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Lawrence's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Wateringbury station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Window mastic in Herne Pound, done properly
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. Typical jobs include draughty joints inside around the window and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, on uPVC windows, composite doors and patio & French doors.
Homes in small places like Herne Pound 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Common problems we fix in Herne Pound
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Look out for any of the following:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
If you look after a building such as Mereworth Community Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Advice
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep timber frames painted
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What affects the quote in Herne Pound
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The type of sealant required
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Where the job is, and your postcode
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear price for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What else we do in Herne Pound
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
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.
Surface by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We will point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
