- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Silicone cannot generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
How we handle window mastic in Swingfield Minnis
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. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. If you have rushed sealant from a window installation and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can help, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and composite doors alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Swingfield Minnis is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Quotes for window mastic in Swingfield Minnis
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Whether the work is at height
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Why deal with it now?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Swingfield Minnis, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Old sealant always removed completely
- We are fully insured
- Every job guaranteed for a year

Swingfield Minnis: your questions answered
Can you do window mastic in Swingfield Minnis?

Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shepherds Well station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Surface by surface
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Swingfield Minnis, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Window mastic in Swingfield Minnis: local notes

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.
