Window mastic in Ivychurch: local notes
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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St George, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How we handle window mastic in Ivychurch
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. Common call-outs are for leaking joints at the ends of sills and untidy mastic left by window fitters, on composite doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Ivychurch is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Signs you need window mastic in Ivychurch
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be

Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Around Ivychurch, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Ivychurch needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix

- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
