Common problems we fix in Ightham
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
How we handle window mastic in Ightham
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Typical jobs include untidy mastic left by window fitters and black, perished sealant on frames, on composite doors, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ightham is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

What else we do in Ightham
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Ightham needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Surface by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.

Leave it or put it right?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a small place like Ightham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Tidy, careful work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- A choice of colours where the product allows

Ightham homes and the weather
Historic houses like Ightham Mote (about 1.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Ightham has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ightham Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
