DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
How we handle window mastic in Kingston Lisle
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you have cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can put it right, on patio & French doors, composite doors and aluminium frames alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Kingston Lisle is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. We will point out any rot we find, as that’s a job for a joiner.
For landlords and businesses
If you manage several properties in or around Kingston Lisle, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Windows and doors in Kingston Lisle
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Ashdown House (about 4.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Kingston Lisle as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Around Kingston Lisle, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you need window mastic in Kingston Lisle?
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Kingston Lisle, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.

Advice
Why act early in Kingston Lisle
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kingston Lisle, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
