How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Cuxton, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any tricky access

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Cuxton
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the sill meets the wall and rushed sealant from a window installation.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Cuxton is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
Cuxton: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cuxton station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Cuxton within the area you cover?
Yes, Cuxton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long will my window job take?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. We will tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Frames and glazing around Cuxton
Historic houses like Starkey Castle (about 0.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Cuxton has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Cuxton Community Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Cuxton is about 2 miles south-west of Rochester, in Medway. Across the ME2 area, we can carry out window mastic at your property. Cuxton is one of 68 places in Medway we cover. You can also see our page for London, about 25 miles away.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cuxton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Full insurance on every job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- We agree the colour with you first

Common problems we fix in Cuxton
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
If you let a flat or house near Cuxton station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
