Window Mastic in Icklesham

Window mastic in Icklesham, done properly
Homes in Icklesham have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on uPVC windows, window sills and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are whistling draughts around closed windows and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Somewhere as small as Icklesham, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Icklesham
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Icklesham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Icklesham questions
Does the coastal weather in Icklesham affect outside sealant?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Winchelsea station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll use the nearest match.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
When it isn’t the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
Windows and doors in Icklesham
Icklesham is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Lamb House (about 3.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Icklesham as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Winchelsea station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Icklesham Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to The Parish 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.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Icklesham, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.

Advice
What affects the cost of window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it has been sealed before
- A few pictures by email, if you can
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, 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 the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
