How we handle window mastic in Bodiam
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you have sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Bodiam often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Bodiam and everywhere else we cover.

Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. In a small place like Bodiam, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.

Do you cover Bodiam for window mastic?
Yes, Bodiam is within the area we cover. We work across 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 will give you a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
How long will my window job take?
A few frames take a few hours. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
How much does window mastic cost in Bodiam?
We do not 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. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Bodiam needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- 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.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Window mastic in Bodiam: local notes
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. With historic houses such as Great Dixter (about 2.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bodiam as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Bodiam Manor School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Robertsbridge station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Giles, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
