Window mastic in Fordwich, done properly
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you’ll get a clear quote before work begins. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Fordwich. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about white mastic on grey or black frames and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Somewhere as small as Fordwich, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. Those corners get the most care.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
How we quote for window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The amount of work
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
If you’re in Fordwich and need window mastic, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email. A short description of the job and where it is helps us quote, and you will get a clear quote before any work starts.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are for a typical job. Somewhere like Fordwich needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
How to get a quote
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Fordwich: your questions answered
Do you cover Fordwich for window mastic?
Yes, Fordwich is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Is Fordwich within the area you cover?
Yes, Fordwich is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I do it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Why act early in Fordwich
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a small place like Fordwich, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Fordwich
- We agree the colour with you first
- Old sealant always removed completely
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal

- Aluminium frames

Window mastic in Fordwich: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Sturry Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Sturry station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
