How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door in most cases. Somewhere like St Nicholas at Wade needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Frames and glazing around St Nicholas at Wade
St Nicholas at Wade 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. Historic houses like Quex Park (about 3 miles east) are a reminder that the area around St Nicholas at Wade has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of Saint Nicholas include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Birchington-On-Sea station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you look after a building such as St Nicholas At Wade Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around St Nicholas at Wade can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Over 20 years’ experience
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Questions from St Nicholas at Wade
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in St Nicholas at Wade?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is St Nicholas at Wade within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Normally, yes. Access is planned before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. 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.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors

What affects the cost of window mastic
We don’t publish a price list. What we look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
If you are in St Nicholas at Wade and need window mastic, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email. Tell us what the problem is and where, and we’ll agree the price before any work begins.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
