How we handle window mastic in Rhodes Minnis
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on aluminium frames, composite doors and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and black, perished sealant on frames.
Around Rhodes Minnis, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Rhodes Minnis and across Kent.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Rhodes Minnis needs a little journey planning: 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.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

Surface by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal

Rhodes Minnis homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 2.6 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Rhodes Minnis has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.

Why deal with it now?
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rhodes Minnis can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do you need window mastic in Rhodes Minnis?
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Look out for any of the following:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Rented homes near Sandling station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
