Window mastic for homes and businesses in The Brents
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. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Typical jobs include damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and black, perished sealant on frames, on composite doors, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors.
In a smaller place like The Brents, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in The Brents as everywhere else we work.

The Brents: your questions answered
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in The Brents?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Faversham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before any work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in The Brents, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. In an older home around The Brents, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Signs you need window mastic in The Brents
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
If you let a flat or house near Faversham station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

The Brents homes and the weather
The Brents is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Davington Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Faversham Parish Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
The Brents is about 1 mile north-east of Faversham, in Kent.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
