Ideally I would have done this back in the summer to fix a localised damp
issue but it escaped my attention at the time.
Is there any problem with applying a decent quality exterior sealant
between rendered brickwork and a UPVC door frame at this time of the year
when it's not possible (given frequent rainfall) to dry the walls out
properly first?

There's "Geocel - The Works" which sticks and seals quite happily on
wet surfaces, it will even cure under water.

I cannot vouch for it's abilities in the wet, but I've had some on the
joints in a hardwood window frame (south facing) for 2 years now and it
is still perfect, even though it goes from concave to convex as the wood
moves through the seasons. Brilliant stuff.

Remarkable. Seems like it also might be suitable for gluing ridge tiles
in place on sloping corners!

Without reading the blurb I'm guessing it's a "moisture curing" type
product, where a *small* amount of water actually helps.

Is your guesswork relevant though?

I don't think it is with this product but I might be wrong - not in the
way PU glue does (and that is remarkable - misting a bit of wood until
wet before glueing and the speed at which the 5 minute PU glue reacts to
that!
