- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Window mastic in Peene, done properly
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about gaps left after new windows were fitted and white mastic on grey or black frames.
Somewhere as small as Peene, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

What else we do in Peene
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Quotes for window mastic in Peene
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Peene, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
How to get a quote

Advice
Why act early in Peene
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. Around Peene, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Questions from Peene
I let a flat near Folkestone West station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Peene within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
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 will explain our choice.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Window mastic in Peene: local notes
Peene is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 2.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Peene has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Folkestone West station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Cheriton Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
