Window mastic for homes and businesses in Balls Green
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you’re dealing with mastic that’s falling out in pieces and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Balls Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Common problems we fix in Balls Green
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, 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.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Around Balls Green, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What happens if it’s left?
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. In a small place like Balls Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Surface by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. We use a neutral-cure product.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
