Window mastic in Old Romney, done properly
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. Typical jobs include untidy mastic left by window fitters and cracked sealant at the sill ends, across aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Old Romney is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens if it’s left?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Old Romney, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Questions from Old Romney
Can you do window mastic in Old Romney?
Yes, Old Romney is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will you come out to Old Romney?
Yes, Old Romney is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
How many windows can you do in a day?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
What affects the cost of window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
Frames and glazing around Old Romney
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Marsh Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Appledore (Kent) station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Clement, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are for a typical job. Somewhere like Old Romney needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
