How we handle window mastic in Maltman's Hill
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. We work on aluminium frames, composite doors and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Maltman's Hill is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Maltman's Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a small place like Maltman's Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.

What does window mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You will know the timing when we quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
When to call us in Maltman's Hill
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
Rented homes near Pluckley station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Access and height
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- When we can work, for business premises
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
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.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
