How we handle window mastic in Chafford Hundred
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We’re often asked to deal with whistling draughts around closed windows and gaps where the sill meets the wall, on window sills, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors.
Houses in smaller places like Chafford Hundred can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Landlord and commercial work in Chafford Hundred
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
What affects the quote in Chafford Hundred
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
We quote each job on its own. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
When to call us in Chafford Hundred
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Draughty joints inside around the window
If you look after a building such as Tudor Court Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Grays station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, depending on the amount of work. A visit to Chafford Hundred is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
