Pootings: your questions answered
Is Pootings in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Pootings is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Edenbridge station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we’ll say so.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Window mastic in Pootings
Frames and walls do not move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about rushed sealant from a window installation and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Homes in small places like Pootings often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Pootings
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Common problems we fix in Pootings
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
If you live in an older home near Congregational Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

What happens if it’s left?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a small place like Pootings, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

Frames and glazing around Pootings
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Chartwell (about 1.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pootings as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Edenbridge station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Four Elms Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
What happens on the day
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 anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are from start to finish. In a small place like Pootings, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
