How we handle window mastic in Birchanger
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before we start. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Birchanger. We work on composite doors, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about rushed sealant from a window installation and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
In a village or hamlet like Birchanger, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Common problems we fix in Birchanger
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.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We will tell you if that is what we find.
Frames and glazing around Birchanger
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Barrington Hall (about 4.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Birchanger as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Birchwood High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What happens on the day

Somewhere as small as Birchanger, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
