Window mastic in Rolvenden

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Rolvenden

If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. If you have leaking joints at the ends of sills and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can help.

Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Rolvenden is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Looking after it afterwards

How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep paint off silicone joints
  • Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
  • Wash the frames with mild soapy water
  • Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked

On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.

Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

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.

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.

What the job involves on each surface

Window sills

Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.

Patio & French doors

Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it without cracking.

The process

A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Rolvenden, 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.

  1. Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
  2. We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
  3. Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
  4. A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
  5. Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the work area
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Let us know about parking restrictions

What happens if it’s left?

Resealing frames is a short job: it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Around Rolvenden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Rolvenden homes and the weather

With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 3.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rolvenden as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, 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 Rolvenden Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
