How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Bures Green
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you have leaking joints at the ends of sills and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Bures Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like Bures Green, 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.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Should I try it myself first?
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Questions from Bures Green
Can you do window mastic in Bures Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bures Green is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Bures station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you hold any approvals?

Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before we start.
How long will my window job take?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
How we quote for window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- The number and length of the joints
- Whether the work is at height
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
For window mastic in Bures Green, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us. Tell us what the problem is and where, and you’ll get a clear quote before any work starts.
What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Bures Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame

Bures Green homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Gainsborough's House (about 4.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bures Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Bures Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Bures station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
