Window Mastic in Wickhambreaux
Our applicators work in Wickhambreaux on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
When to call us in Wickhambreaux
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Black, perished sealant on frames
If you live in an older home near Church of St Andrew, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the colour is chosen
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Wickhambreaux
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are hard, cracked sealant around windows and rushed sealant from a window installation.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Wickhambreaux is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
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.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Wickhambreaux, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about parking restrictions

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Frames and glazing around Wickhambreaux
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wickhambreaux 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.
If you look after a building such as Wickhambreaux Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Bekesbourne station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wickhambreaux
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wickhambreaux, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Your questions about window mastic in Wickhambreaux
Do you work for landlords with property near Bekesbourne station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Wickhambreaux 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.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before any work starts.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A handful of frames is a short visit, while a whole house takes longer. You will get a timescale with the quote.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Most silicone cannot be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
