Window mastic in Tonge Corner
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on uPVC windows, window sills and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and black, perished sealant on frames.
Around Tonge Corner, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

What else we do in Tonge Corner
Do you need window mastic in Tonge Corner?
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
For landlords with property near Teynham station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep timber frames painted
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
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.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tonge Corner
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Tonge Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Advice
Tonge Corner questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Teynham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does the coastal weather in Tonge Corner affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.

Window mastic in Tonge Corner: local notes
Tonge Corner is close to 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Lansdowne Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
