Window mastic in Butt's Green
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you have whistling draughts around closed windows and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can put it right.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Butt's Green is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

Leave it or put it right?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Around Butt's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why book with us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Old sealant always removed completely
- One-year guarantee on every job
Common problems we fix in Butt's Green
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Managing a site like The Sandon School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
