Window Mastic in Plaitford Green
Problem with your window and door frames in Plaitford Green? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
Leave it or put it right?
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Plaitford Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Window mastic in Plaitford Green, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We’re often asked to deal with damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, across aluminium frames, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
In a village or hamlet like Plaitford Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

What window mastic looks like in Plaitford Green
With historic houses such as Landford Manor (about 1.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Plaitford Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Mottisfont & Dunbridge station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Plaitford Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

How much does window mastic cost in Plaitford Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.

Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will use the nearest match.
Are you an approved applicator?

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep timber frames painted
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.

We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
