How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere as small as Yalding, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky

How we handle window mastic in Yalding
Homes in Yalding have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you are dealing with gaps left after new windows were fitted and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Yalding, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Common questions in Yalding
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Yalding station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Yalding in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Yalding is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
What does window mastic cost?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What we’re called out for in Yalding
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Look out for these signs:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
For landlords with property near Yalding station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Yalding can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What else we do in Yalding
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Window mastic in Yalding: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter's and St Paul's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.
For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Landlords and agents in Yalding can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
