Window mastic in Woodchurch: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Smallhythe Place (about 4.2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woodchurch as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Woodchurch Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

About our window mastic in Woodchurch
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are white mastic on grey or black frames and draughts coming in around windows and doors.
Around Woodchurch, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Woodchurch questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Woodchurch?
Yes. Woodchurch is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally will not take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why it’s worth doing now in Woodchurch
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. In a small place like Woodchurch, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
Why Woodchurch customers choose us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Common problems we fix in Woodchurch
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.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For landlords with property near Appledore (Kent) station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Woodchurch, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
