- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Broken hinges, locks or handles

About our window mastic in Kingsdown
Around Kingsdown we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you have gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Kingsdown, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Around Kingsdown, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
What you get with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Colour picked to suit the job
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Questions from Kingsdown
Will you come out to Kingsdown?
Yes. Kingsdown is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Kingsdown for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kingsdown is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
That depends on the product. Silicone is not paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.
How much does window mastic cost in Kingsdown?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Frames and glazing around Kingsdown
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Kingsdown as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Catherine, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as The Sittingbourne School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Kingsdown 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
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 look for the cause first.
