Window & door mastic in Iden Green, Kent
Professional window mastic in and around Iden Green, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Common problems we fix in Iden Green
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. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Look out for any of the following:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
In the older streets around Church of St George, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Window mastic in Iden Green
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are hard, cracked sealant around windows and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Around Iden Green, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Don’t paint over the silicone
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Iden Green
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Around Iden Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.

Is Iden Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Iden Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?

Usually, yes. Access is planned before work begins.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

Frames and glazing around Iden Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Great Dixter (about 4.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Iden Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Benenden Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
