How window mastic works in Thurrock

A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on composite doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about gaps where the sill meets the wall and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on how much there is to do.

Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.

What affects the price in Thurrock

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Windows and doors across Thurrock

Our window mastic work across Thurrock covers homes, flats and businesses, from Stanford-le-Hope, Grays and South Ockendon to the quieter places in between. Outside sealant needs a dry, clean joint, so the work is planned around the weather.

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outside sealant still needs a dry, clean joint, so work across Thurrock is planned around the weather. In the coastal parts of Thurrock, the sea-facing side of a building takes the most weather, and that’s where sealant usually gives up first. Good preparation and the right sealant help it cope.

Stanford-le-Hope: For an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Arthur Bugler Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Thurrock

Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.

For anyone letting property in or around Thurrock, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.

When it isn’t the sealant

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:

Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Condensation trapped between the panes
Faulty window hardware

How the job changes by surface

Window sills

Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.

Patio & French doors

The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.

What affects the quote in Thurrock

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

Any working-time requirements on site
How many areas need sealing
Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The size of the job

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

What we need to know

You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:

Any access issues, like height or stairs
Whether it has been sealed before
Photos by email, if that is easy
Where the property is

Leave it or put it right?

If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly.

Thurrock questions

Do you work in Thurrock?

Yes. We’re based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Do the sealants smell?

Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.

What sealant do you use?

It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we’re fully insured.
