Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the size of the job. Parking in a town like Ramsgate is usually straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right 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 business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Windows and doors in Ramsgate
Ramsgate is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to St. Luke's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Priory Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common questions in Ramsgate
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Ramsgate?
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.
I let a flat near Ramsgate station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you work in Ramsgate?
Yes, we do. Ramsgate is part of the area we cover.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Ramsgate?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
When to call us in Ramsgate
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Rented homes near Ramsgate station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What happens if it’s left?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Black mould and gaps in sealant do not fix themselves, and in a busy household in Ramsgate they spread with every shower and every downpour. Now is the easy time to put it right.
Instead of a standard rate, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
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.
