How we handle window mastic in Woodland
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We’re often asked to deal with water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, across composite doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Woodland is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Woodland, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access

What window mastic looks like in Woodland
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 2.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Woodland 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.
Historic houses such as Acrise Place, about 2.9 miles east, show how far back building around Woodland goes. Schools such as Lyminge Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Woodland questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Westenhanger station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Woodland?
Yes. Woodland is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Normally, yes. We plan safe access before the job.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we’re called out for in Woodland
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
Look out for these signs:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Rented homes near Westenhanger 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.
Before booking anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How hidden problems are handled
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- When the joint can take water or movement
How we quote for window mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The type of property
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will explain what’s involved.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woodland can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.
