About our window mastic in Twitham
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. We’re often asked to deal with mastic that has split away from the wall and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows.
Somewhere as small as Twitham, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What we can’t put right
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we’re called out for in Twitham
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
In the older streets around Church of St James, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What else we do in Twitham
Surface by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
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.

Do I need to be at home?

What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
How many windows can you do in a day?
Allow a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Twitham homes and 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. With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 1.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Twitham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Adisham station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. Somewhere as small as Twitham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
