- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf usually come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Candy Mill
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on timber windows & doors, window sills and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about old mastic that has gone black or come away and whistling draughts around closed windows.
In and around a place like Candy Mill, homes range from older stone-built cottages to newer houses. Wind-driven rain finds any gap around a frame or sill, so the mastic there works hard.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, drop us a line at info@mrmastic.co.uk.

Do you need window mastic in Candy Mill?
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Whether the job is in Candy Mill itself or nearby, the right material for each joint matters as much as a neat finish.

What affects the cost of window mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Mould in or behind the old joints
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand.
What happens if it’s left?
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 Candy Mill, water from a failed joint in an older stone home can soak into timber and plaster.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, email us at info@mrmastic.co.uk for an honest opinion and a quote.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
