About our window mastic in Hucking
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Homes in small places like Hucking often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Common problems we fix in Hucking
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Letting a property close to Hollingbourne station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Windows and doors in Hucking
Historic houses like Leeds Castle (about 3.2 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Hucking 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Hucking, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.

Advice
FAQs for Hucking
Do you work for landlords with property near Hollingbourne station?
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 smaller places like Hucking?
Yes. Hucking is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Hucking?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Surface by surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Landlord and commercial work in Hucking
For anyone letting property in or around Hucking, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
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.
