Your questions about window mastic in Bullockstone
Do you work for landlords with property near Herne Bay station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Bullockstone any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Window mastic in Bullockstone, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. 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. We work on timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and composite doors, and people most often call us about hard, cracked sealant around windows and black, perished sealant on frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Bullockstone is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Bullockstone and everywhere else we cover.

Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. We pay most attention there.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Bullockstone, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Frames and glazing around Bullockstone
Bullockstone is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Martin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Thornden Wood Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bullockstone
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bullockstone can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

When to call us in Bullockstone
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Rented homes near Herne Bay 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.
