Window mastic for Smarden and the surrounding area: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Window mastic in Smarden, 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’ll say so. Typical jobs include untidy mastic left by window fitters and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, across aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and window sills.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Smarden is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What affects the cost of window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The size of the job
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Why act early in Smarden
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Around Smarden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a small place like Smarden, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What does window mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Smarden homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, 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 Michael, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Pluckley station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like Smarden Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
