Window mastic in North Halling, done properly
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have whistling draughts around closed windows and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in North Halling is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Common problems we fix in North Halling
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Are they insured?
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Landlord and commercial work in North Halling
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured for the work.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

What window mastic looks like in North Halling
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Starkey Castle (about 0.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around North Halling 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.
Letting a property close to Cuxton station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Schools such as Cuxton Community Infant School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.

The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as North Halling, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
