Ickham Window Mastic
Our applicators work in Ickham on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Do you need window mastic in Ickham?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
In the older streets around Church of St John, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they’re fully insured

Ickham: your questions answered
I let a flat near Bekesbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Ickham?
Yes. Ickham 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.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it messy?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
How much does window mastic cost in Ickham?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Windows and doors in Ickham
London and the South East are among 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 Goodnestone Park (about 3 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ickham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Bekesbourne station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Ickham is about 4 miles east of Canterbury, in Kent. Ickham gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Ickham can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
What we can’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
Why it’s worth doing now in Ickham
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In a small place like Ickham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Ickham
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- 180+ five-star Google reviews
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
See our cost guide or customer reviews.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
More services for Ickham
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that’s a job for a joiner.
How the visit works
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. In a small place like Ickham, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
