When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

How we handle window mastic in Hogben's Hill
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. Common call-outs are for cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors.
Around Hogben's Hill, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.

FAQs for Hogben's Hill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Selling 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’ll give you a clear price.
Can you do window mastic in Hogben's Hill?

Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months, inside or out.
Frames and glazing around Hogben's Hill
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens (about 2.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Hogben's Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Selling station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Signs you need window mastic in Hogben's Hill
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Selling Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
