DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’re 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Lympne
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you are dealing with cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can help, on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Lympne is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

When to call us in Lympne
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Schools such as Lympne Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a village or hamlet like Lympne, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Why act early in Lympne
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In a small place like Lympne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- We’re fully insured
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Tidy, careful work

Window mastic in Lympne: local notes
Lympne is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Stephen, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Lympne: your questions answered
I let a flat near Westenhanger station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Lympne within the area you cover?
Yes, Lympne is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not usually, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How much does window mastic cost in Lympne?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
