How we handle window mastic in Hickmans Green
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you have mastic that’s falling out in pieces and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can put it right, on uPVC windows, window sills and aluminium frames alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hickmans Green is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What else we do in Hickmans Green
Frames and glazing around Hickmans Green
With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 4.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hickmans Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Selling station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Boughton-under-Blean and Dunkirk Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

- The type of property

Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hickmans Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- You choose the colour before work begins
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
Signs you need window mastic in Hickmans Green
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Homes close to St Barnabas include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long to leave it before use
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Look out for the warning signs: 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.
