How we quote for window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Westgate-on-Sea
Around Westgate-on-Sea we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the sill meets the wall and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
In smaller places like Westgate-on-Sea, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

When to call us in Westgate-on-Sea
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 usually mention when they call include:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Schools such as St Saviour's Church of England Junior School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, 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.
Why act early in Westgate-on-Sea
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In a smaller place like Westgate-on-Sea, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- We are fully insured
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Window mastic in Westgate-on-Sea: local notes
Westgate-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Westgate-On-Sea station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around Church of St Saviour, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Westgate-on-Sea questions
Do you cover smaller places like Westgate-on-Sea?
Yes, Westgate-on-Sea is covered. Our work covers 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 living near the coast affect window mastic in Westgate-on-Sea?
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 usually the first to need attention.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Window sills

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a job in Westgate-on-Sea, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
