Window & door mastic in Newenden, Kent
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Newenden. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows

- White mastic on grey or black frames
Common problems we fix in Newenden
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
In and around Newenden, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Newenden
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are cold air getting in at the frame edge and hard, cracked sealant around windows.
Around Newenden, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.

Newenden: your questions answered
Is window mastic in Newenden guaranteed?
All our work, in Newenden and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Newenden?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What information do you need?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere as small as Newenden, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Windows and doors in Newenden
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. Historic houses like Great Dixter (about 1.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Newenden has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
