Window mastic in Orlestone, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Typical jobs include black, perished sealant on frames and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, on composite doors, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors.
Homes in small places like Orlestone often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Orlestone and across Kent.

FAQs for Orlestone
Can you do window mastic in Orlestone?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Orlestone is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Ham Street station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we’re fully insured.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house from start to finish. Somewhere like Orlestone needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
Surface by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Orlestone
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Orlestone, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Orlestone homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Ham Street station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Homes close to Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant won’t put right:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Don’t paint over the silicone
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Signs you need window mastic in Orlestone
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hamstreet Primary Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
