Window & door mastic in Park Wood, Medway
Window and door frames in Park Wood need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
How we handle window mastic in Park Wood
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you’re dealing with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can help, on timber windows & doors, window sills and aluminium frames alike.
Homes around Park Wood range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Park Wood
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In an older home around Park Wood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

FAQs for Park Wood
Do you cover smaller places like Park Wood?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a smaller place like Park Wood, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
Common problems we fix in Park Wood
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
If you live in an older home near St Paul's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Park Wood homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Restoration House (about 4.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Park Wood as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Park Wood Infant School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Rainham (Kent) station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
