Window mastic in Audley End, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you are dealing with draughty joints inside around the window and leaking joints at the ends of sills, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Audley End, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Window mastic in Audley End: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Audley End House (about 0.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Audley End has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around United Reformed Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Saffron Walden County High School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before we start.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before work begins, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Which products do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.

Common problems we fix in Audley End
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Letting a property close to Audley End station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Why deal with it now?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. 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 Audley End, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- One-year guarantee on every job

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
