Window mastic in Norton Ash
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are draughts coming in around windows and doors and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Around Norton Ash, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
When to call us in Norton Ash
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Managing a site like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Norton Ash, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Windows and doors in Norton Ash
Norton Ash is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Teynham station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Norton Ash: your questions answered
Is Norton Ash within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Norton Ash?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How much does window mastic cost in Norton Ash?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you will get one quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Do not paint over the silicone
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
