Trusted window mastic in Broomfield

Window mastic in Broomfield, done properly

The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Typical jobs include damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, on timber windows & doors, composite doors and window sills.

In a smaller place like Broomfield, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.

A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?

The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Window mastic in Broomfield: local notes

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Hylands (about 4.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Broomfield as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.

Rented homes near Beaulieu Park station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Managing a site like Chelmer Valley High School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why act early in Broomfield

Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Around Broomfield, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Broomfield is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.

I let a flat near Beaulieu Park station. Can you help?

Do you guarantee window mastic?

Can you quote for more than one area?

Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.

Can new window sealant be painted?

That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.

Are you insured?

Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.

Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?

Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.

Do you seal inside as well as outside?

Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.

What happens on the day

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. In a smaller place like Broomfield, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.

  1. First we look at every frame and agree the list.
  2. The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
  3. We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
  4. A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
  5. Every joint is checked before we leave.

Before we arrive

  • On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
  • Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How the job changes by surface

Timber windows & doors

Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.

Aluminium frames

Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.

How to look after the new joints

To keep the joints looking good and working properly:

  • Don’t paint over the silicone
  • Clear any debris from frame drain holes
  • Keep jet washers away from the mastic
  • Wash the frames with mild soapy water

Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.

Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
