What window mastic looks like in Bentfield Green
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 site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bentfield Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Stansted Mountfitchet station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Window mastic in Bentfield Green
Around Bentfield Green we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and window sills, and the jobs we see most are water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
In a village or hamlet like Bentfield Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.

Do you need window mastic in Bentfield Green?
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- White mastic on grey or black frames
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Should I try it myself first?
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Bentfield Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
