About our window mastic in Coggeshall
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are hard, cracked sealant around windows and white mastic on grey or black frames.
Homes around Coggeshall range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Windows and doors in Coggeshall
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.
Letting a property close to Kelvedon station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you live in an older home near St Peter ad Vincula, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.

What else we do in Coggeshall
What happens on the day
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. A visit to Coggeshall 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.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Surface by surface
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Common problems we fix in Coggeshall
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Managing a site like Honywood Community Science School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- How the colour is chosen
- The length of the guarantee
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Questions from Coggeshall
Is Coggeshall in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Coggeshall is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Coggeshall?
Yes. Coggeshall is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can tenants book the work?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
