Wissenden Window Mastic
Window and door frames in Wissenden need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Wissenden
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Common call-outs are for water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows.
Around Wissenden, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In a small place like Wissenden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What we are called out for in Wissenden
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bethersden Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Wissenden, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Wissenden questions
Will you come out to Wissenden?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do window mastic in Wissenden?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Wissenden is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What does window mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Frames and glazing around Wissenden
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Godinton House (about 4.8 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Wissenden has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Pluckley station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Godinton House, about 4.8 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Wissenden.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. We pay most attention there.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
