How we handle window mastic in Hoaden
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about cold air getting in at the frame edge and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Around Hoaden, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

FAQs for Hoaden
Do you work for landlords with property near Minster station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Hoaden in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Hoaden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we are fully insured.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Hoaden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What we’re called out for in Hoaden
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That is what backing rod is for.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Black, perished sealant on frames
If you look after a building such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How we quote for window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and send you a clear quote.
What window mastic looks like in Hoaden
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 3.4 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Hoaden has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Homes close to Elmstone Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Minster station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hoaden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
