The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like East Studdal, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Window mastic in East Studdal
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you’re dealing with draughts coming in around windows and doors and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, we can put it right.
Around East Studdal, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Surface by surface
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.

Window mastic in East Studdal: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Walmer Castle (about 3.6 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around East Studdal as well as newer homes. 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.
In the older streets around East Studdal Church Hall, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.

What we are called out for in East Studdal
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Look out for any of the following:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Rented homes near Martin Mill station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
