Tonbridge Window Mastic
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Tonbridge and across Kent. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Tonbridge
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you’re dealing with black, perished sealant on frames and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Tonbridge mixes older streets, where windows have often been replaced, with newer estates fitted with uPVC. All of them depend on a sound bead of mastic between frame and wall.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Your questions about window mastic in Tonbridge
I let a flat near Tonbridge station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Tonbridge in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Tonbridge is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Window mastic in Tonbridge: local notes
Historic houses like Ightham Mote (about 4.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Tonbridge has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Managing a site like New Beacon School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Tonbridge station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

A little further out are The Milne Museum (under half a mile west) and Tonbridge Castle (under half a mile south-west). Open spaces near Tonbridge include Tudeley Woods RSPB reserve and Barden Lake.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What else we do in Tonbridge
What affects the quote in Tonbridge
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- The size of the job
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In Tonbridge, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
