How we handle window mastic in Rock-a-Nore
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Common call-outs are for mastic that has split away from the wall and old mastic that has gone black or come away, on composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
Homes around Rock-a-Nore range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Rock-a-Nore and everywhere else we cover.

Rock-a-Nore questions
I let a flat near Ore station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Rock-a-Nore any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Generally, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll use the nearest match.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Common problems we fix in Rock-a-Nore
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Rented homes near Ore station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Leave it or put it right?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Homes in smaller places like Rock-a-Nore can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Windows and doors in Rock-a-Nore
Rock-a-Nore is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
If you live in an older home near Ebenezer Particular Baptist Chapel, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ark Castledown Primary Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
If you manage several properties in or around Rock-a-Nore, several properties can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a job in Rock-a-Nore, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- 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.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
