About our window mastic in Udimore
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. Common call-outs are for rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and mastic that has split away from the wall, across window sills, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows.
Around Udimore, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up

Signs you need window mastic in Udimore
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Rented homes near Winchelsea 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.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Udimore, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.

Frames and glazing around Udimore
With historic houses such as Lamb House (about 3.4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Udimore as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Around Udimore

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
What happens if it’s left?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Around Udimore, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
