Window mastic in Sholden Meadows
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you have gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Sholden Meadows is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

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 getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Questions from Sholden Meadows
I let a flat near Deal station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Sholden Meadows affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you are decorating and we’ll choose accordingly.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.

The process
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Sholden Meadows needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Check the mastic once a year
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sholden Meadows
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. A reseal is a much smaller job. Around Sholden Meadows, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

Signs you need window mastic in Sholden Meadows
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
Schools such as Sholden Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Sholden Meadows homes and the weather
Sholden Meadows is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Deal station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
