What affects the quote in Wainscott
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Window mastic in Wainscott
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on composite doors, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are cold air getting in at the frame edge and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Around Wainscott, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Wainscott
Wainscott is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to St Philip & St James include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Wainscott Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Wainscott is about 2 miles north of Rochester, in Medway. Across the ME2 area, our applicators can take on window mastic. Wainscott is one of 68 places in Medway we cover for window mastic. We also work in Chelmsford, about 23 miles from Wainscott.

When to call us in Wainscott
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Look out for these signs:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Rented homes near Strood station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.

FAQs for Wainscott
Will you come out to Wainscott?
Yes, Wainscott is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the coastal weather in Wainscott affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can go on one quote.
Why act early in Wainscott
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In a smaller place like Wainscott, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house from start to finish. In a smaller place like Wainscott, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
