About our window mastic in Stede Quarter
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about draughts coming in around windows and doors and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Stede Quarter is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Stede Quarter and everywhere else we cover.

Signs you need window mastic in Stede Quarter
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- White mastic on grey or black frames
Rented homes near Headcorn station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What happens if it’s left?
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Around Stede Quarter, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Check the mastic once a year
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.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Stede Quarter needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
