About our window mastic in Barnston
Homes in Barnston have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you have old mastic that has gone black or come away and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can help.
Around Barnston, 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.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What window mastic looks like in Barnston
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Barnston is about 8 miles west of Braintree, in Essex. Wherever you are in the CM6 postcode area, we cover window mastic for homes and businesses. Across Essex, we cover 644 places, Barnston among them. We also work in Chelmsford, around 9 miles away.

What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Barnston, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Common questions in Barnston
Do you cover Barnston for window mastic?
Yes, Barnston is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is window mastic in Barnston guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Barnston, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
Why us?
- We never seal over old sealant
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Over 20 years’ experience

What we’re called out for in Barnston
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How hidden problems are handled
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
What affects the cost of window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
