How we quote for window mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The product the joint needs
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- Any working-time requirements on site
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The address or postcode of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Leave it or put it right?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. In a small place like Bicknacre, 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: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Arbo and Everbuild products

Frames and glazing around Bicknacre
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. With historic houses such as Danbury Place (about 2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bicknacre as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near South Woodham Ferrers station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Priory Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Landlord and commercial work in Bicknacre
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Bicknacre, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
What we’re called out for in Bicknacre
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
For an older house near a landmark such as St Andrew's, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. We use a neutral-cure product.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
