Window mastic in Lower Cox Street, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and window sills, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant at the sill ends and gaps left after new windows were fitted.
Somewhere as small as Lower Cox Street, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Lower Cox Street: your questions answered
Is Lower Cox Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Lower Cox Street is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Lower Cox Street in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Lower Cox Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Lower Cox Street?
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.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A few frames take a few hours. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Window sills
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Windows and doors in Lower Cox Street
With historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 4.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lower Cox Street as well as newer homes. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Bearsted station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lower Cox Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us

Can I do it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
