Window & door mastic in Staplehurst, Kent
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Staplehurst and across Kent. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Window mastic in Staplehurst, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. Common call-outs are for hard, cracked sealant around windows and draughts coming in around windows and doors, on window sills, composite doors and patio & French doors.
In smaller places like Staplehurst, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Frames and glazing around Staplehurst
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.
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Staplehurst School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Staplehurst station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Parking around Staplehurst is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky

What happens if it’s left?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In an older home around Staplehurst, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- We never seal over old sealant
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

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.

Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.

Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.

Surface by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
