Window mastic in Goodnestone, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you are dealing with untidy mastic left by window fitters and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can put it right, on composite doors, window sills and uPVC windows alike.
Around Goodnestone, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Condensation trapped between the panes

What window mastic looks like in Goodnestone
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 0.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Goodnestone 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Goodnestone Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
How the visit works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Goodnestone, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
