How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
How we handle window mastic in Bradwell on Sea
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Common call-outs are for untidy mastic left by window fitters and old mastic that has gone black or come away, on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Bradwell on Sea is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a village or hamlet like Bradwell on Sea, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Window mastic in Bradwell on Sea: local notes
Bradwell on Sea is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Thomas include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Do you need window mastic in Bradwell on Sea?
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- White mastic on grey or black frames
Schools such as St Cedd's Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What preparation is included
