Pollhill Window Mastic
Window and door frames in Pollhill need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
What we’re called out for in Pollhill
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Schools such as Harrietsham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Window mastic in Pollhill
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 and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant at the sill ends and gaps left after new windows were fitted.
Somewhere as small as Pollhill, 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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Pollhill and across Kent.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Pollhill, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Frames and glazing around Pollhill
Historic houses like Leeds Castle (about 1.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Pollhill has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Harrietsham station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Check the mastic once a year
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Your questions about window mastic in Pollhill
Is Pollhill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Harrietsham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Usually, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will match it as closely as we can.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What does window mastic cost?
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 I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
