Wakes Colne questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Chappel & Wakes Colne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Wakes Colne for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Wakes Colne is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Wakes Colne?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
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.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Why act early in Wakes Colne
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wakes Colne can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal

Wakes Colne homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Chappel & Wakes Colne station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like Chappel Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Barnabas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
