What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Wigborough, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

What affects the quote in Little Wigborough
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Little Wigborough questions
Do you cover Little Wigborough for window mastic?
Yes, Little Wigborough is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Little Wigborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Is it messy?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with photos by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.
What we cannot put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Window mastic in Little Wigborough: local notes
Little Wigborough is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
In and around Little Wigborough, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Little Wigborough, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.

When to call us in Little Wigborough
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Draughty joints inside around the window
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Stephen, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
