Window mastic for homes and businesses in Cop Street
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. Typical jobs include gaps left after new windows were fitted and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, across uPVC windows, patio & French doors and window sills.
Homes in small places like Cop Street often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

Cop Street questions
Do you work for landlords with property near Sandwich station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Cop Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
How long will my window job take?
Allow anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Cop Street homes and the weather
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 4.1 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Cop Street has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Sandwich station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Around Cop Street
Around Cop Street, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Chequer Inn. The nearest railway station is Sandwich station, about 2.9 miles south-east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include White Mill (2.1 miles east). For a walk, there’s Monk's Wall nature reserve.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

What affects the quote in Cop Street
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Cop Street, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Cop Street can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it without cracking.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We will point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
Signs you need window mastic in Cop Street
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
