What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Kingsgate, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
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.
Kingsgate questions
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Kingsgate any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Kingsgate within the area you cover?
Yes, Kingsgate is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Kingsgate?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
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.
How we quote for window mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few photos by email, if you can
- The type of property
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
What happens if it’s left?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Kingsgate, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What window mastic looks like in Kingsgate
Kingsgate is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Broadstairs station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as St Philip, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Callis Grange Nursery and Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
