Window Mastic in Shadoxhurst
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Shadoxhurst and across Kent. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
How we handle window mastic in Shadoxhurst
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after new windows were fitted and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Shadoxhurst is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shadoxhurst
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Around Shadoxhurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

What else we do in Shadoxhurst
Window mastic in Shadoxhurst: local notes
Historic houses like Godinton House (about 3.7 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Shadoxhurst 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’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Ham Street station? Then 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 John Wallis Academy, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Shadoxhurst, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Landlord and commercial work in Shadoxhurst
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Check the mastic once a year
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before we start. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
