The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like The Stocks needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any tricky access

Window mastic in The Stocks
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about cracked sealant at the sill ends and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in The Stocks is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly

Common questions in The Stocks
Will you come out to The Stocks?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Rye station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will use the nearest match.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
What affects the quote in The Stocks
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach 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 tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Common problems we fix in The Stocks
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
What happens if it’s left?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like The Stocks, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before work begins.

What window mastic looks like in The Stocks
Historic houses like Smallhythe Place (about 2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around The Stocks has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Rye station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Managing a site like Wittersham Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
