Wilsley Pound Window Mastic
Problem with your window and door frames in Wilsley Pound? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Window mastic in Wilsley Pound, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. If you’re dealing with leaking joints at the ends of sills and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Wilsley Pound, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why act early in Wilsley Pound
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Around Wilsley Pound, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us

- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
What we are called out for in Wilsley Pound
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cranbrook Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Before you book anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What the cure time is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that’s what we find.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
What window mastic looks like in Wilsley Pound
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Staplehurst station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Trinity, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Wilsley Pound questions
Will you come out to Wilsley Pound?
Yes. Wilsley Pound is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Staplehurst station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before we start.
How much does window mastic cost in Wilsley Pound?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
