Window Mastic in Aycliffe
Problem with your window and door frames in Aycliffe? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.

- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
About our window mastic in Aycliffe
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. Common call-outs are for mastic that’s falling out in pieces and cold air getting in at the frame edge, on composite doors, aluminium frames and window sills.
Somewhere as small as Aycliffe, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Landlord and commercial work in Aycliffe
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will give you a quote.
Windows and doors in Aycliffe
Aycliffe is within about 1 mile of 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Aycliffe Church Centre, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Dover Priory station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Aycliffe Community Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Aycliffe: your questions answered
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Aycliffe any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you work for landlords with property near Dover Priory station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
How much does window mastic cost in Aycliffe?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aycliffe can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Aycliffe, 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 look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
