Window Mastic in Burnham-on-Crouch
We cover Burnham-on-Crouch for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Burnham-on-Crouch
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on timber windows & doors, window sills and composite doors, and people most often call us about sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Around Burnham-on-Crouch, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How we quote for window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether the work is at height
- How many areas need sealing
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The rough size of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In a smaller place like Burnham-on-Crouch, 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.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- 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.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

When it is not the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
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. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Burnham-on-Crouch homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Burnham-On-Crouch station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
