DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Cliffe Woods
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and black, perished sealant on frames, we can put it right, on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and composite doors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Cliffe Woods, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Cliffe Woods and across Medway.

FAQs for Cliffe Woods
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Cliffe Woods any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.

Do you need window mastic in Cliffe Woods?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Historic houses such as Temple Manor, about 3.1 miles south, show how far back building around Cliffe Woods goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Cliffe Woods, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Window mastic in Cliffe Woods: local notes
Cliffe Woods is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cliffe Woods Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Higham station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
