Window Mastic in Linton
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Linton and across Kent. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Window mastic in Linton
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on composite doors, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are hard, cracked sealant around windows and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Linton is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. Those corners get the most care.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Linton 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.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
Getting a quote
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.

What we are called out for in Linton
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cornwallis Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Window mastic in Linton: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 3.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Linton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around St Nicholas Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
