FAQs for Wick
Is Wick within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Wick?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
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 can do either or both.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A handful of frames is a short visit. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Window mastic in Wick, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on timber windows & doors, window sills and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
In smaller places like Wick, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.

What window mastic looks like in Wick
Wick is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor (about 3.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wick as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Littlehampton station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. In the older streets around All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Lyminster Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
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, then guaranteed for a year.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved.
Why deal with it now?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In an older home around Wick, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a job in Wick, 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 confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
