Do you work for landlords with property near Westenhanger station?

How long should I leave it?

Does the work come with a guarantee?

What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Generally, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will match it as closely as we can.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Stowting?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
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.
Common problems we fix in Stowting
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

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, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Windows and doors in Stowting
With historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (about 3.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stowting 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Stowting Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
