FAQs for Drellingore
Is Drellingore within the area you cover?
Yes. Drellingore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Drellingore affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you guarantee glazing sealant work?
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Glazing silicone in Drellingore
Not every silicone suits glass. Our applicators use neutral-cure glazing silicone that’s suited to glass and the frame, and we tool it to a neat, even finish. If you’re dealing with leaking glazing joints on a rooflight and stained, discoloured glazing silicone, we can help, on glass-to-frame joints, rooflights and glass-to-glass joints alike.
Around Drellingore, 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 stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How we quote for glazing silicone
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- When we can work, for business premises
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Whether it has been sealed before
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes anything from an hour or two to most of a day, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Drellingore, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We trace the leak and confirm it’s a sealant joint.
- The failed silicone is cut out without marking the glass or frame.
- We clean the glass and frame so the new silicone bonds.
- A neutral-cure glazing silicone is applied and tooled.
- Each joint is checked and, where possible, water-tested.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Glazing silicone in Drellingore: local notes
Drellingore is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on glazing joints and frame seals, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Acrise Place (about 3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Drellingore 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.
For landlords with property near Folkestone Central station, glazing joints are worth checking at the end of a tenancy, before a small leak grows.
Drellingore is about 2 miles east of Hawkinge, in Kent. Whether you are in the middle of Drellingore or further out, we cover glazing silicone for every kind of property. Our Kent coverage runs to 922 places, Drellingore among them. We also work in Chelmsford, around 52 miles away.
Every address in CT18 and CT15 is covered for glazing silicone, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Other places close to Drellingore include South Alkham (1 mile north-east), Alkham (1 mile north-east), Satmar (1 mile south-east), Chalksole Green (1 mile north-east) and Capel-le-Ferne (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (15 miles west), Canterbury (12 miles north-west), Dover (4 miles east), Folkestone (3 miles south-west), Deal (11 miles north-east) and Hythe (6 miles south-west).
What’s near Drellingore
Typical jobs here are in homes near Sladden Wood and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Folkestone Central station, about 3.1 miles south-west. Nearby you’ll also find Royal Victoria Hospital (2.9 miles south-west) and Folkestone Museum (3.1 miles south). Open spaces near Drellingore include Sugar Loaf Hill and Dover Western Heights.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Inspect the sealant on glazing annually
- Act on drips or damp patches early
- Keep harsh solvents off the silicone
- Avoid scraping close to the bead
Clear the conservatory gutters regularly so water does not back up against the seals. Blocked gutters can push water where it shouldn’t go.
Drips or damp near a glazing joint shouldn’t be ignored. It may be sealant, or something else, and we will tell you which.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
What we are called out for in Drellingore
UV light ages silicone and roof joints get the most sun. It goes brittle, cracks and stops sticking to the glass and frame.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Cracked silicone between glass panels
- Silicone pulling away from the glass
- Black or yellowed silicone on glass joints
- Failed sealant around rooflight glass
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
What happens if it’s left?
Silicone around glazing needs the right product. A general-purpose tube may not bond well or may react with the frame so we choose a glazing silicone instead. In a small place like Drellingore, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
