Tyler Hill: your questions answered
Is Tyler Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, Tyler Hill is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Canterbury West station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
How we handle window mastic in Tyler Hill
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and hard, cracked sealant around windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Tyler Hill is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Tyler Hill can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

What else we do in Tyler Hill
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Faulty window hardware
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Tyler Hill
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
What affects the quote in Tyler Hill
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:

Common problems we fix in Tyler Hill
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Look out for these signs:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
For landlords with property near Canterbury West station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- When the joint can take water or movement

Windows and doors in Tyler Hill
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Blean Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Tyler Hill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Can I do it myself?
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
