FAQs for Charndon
Will you come out to Charndon?
Yes, Charndon is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is window mastic in Charndon guaranteed?
All our work, in Charndon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not usually, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
How many windows can you do in a day?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You will know the timing when we quote.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a village or hamlet like Charndon, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.

What we are called out for in Charndon
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
Frames and glazing around Charndon
The South East is one of the drier parts 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 Claydon House (about 3 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Charndon 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.
In and around Charndon, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Look round the frames every year or so
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
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 affects the quote in Charndon
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much there is to do
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a small place like Charndon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
