About our window mastic in Lordswood
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and hard, cracked sealant around windows.
In a smaller place like Lordswood, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lordswood
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Homes in smaller places like Lordswood can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

More services for Lordswood
Do you need window mastic in Lordswood?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
If you let a flat or house near Chatham station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Lordswood questions
Do you cover Lordswood for window mastic?
Yes, Lordswood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Lordswood?
Yes, Lordswood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long will my window job take?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

Windows and doors in Lordswood
Historic houses like Restoration House (about 3.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Lordswood has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
If you live in an older home near St David's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as St Benedict's Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a job in Lordswood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
