How we handle window mastic in Coxtie Green
Around Coxtie Green we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Around Coxtie Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Coxtie Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What happens if it’s left?
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Coxtie Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It won’t solve:
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Look round the frames every year or so
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
When to call us in Coxtie Green
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- White mastic on grey or black frames
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Becket Keys Church of England School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Window mastic in Coxtie Green: local notes
Historic houses like Hare Hall (about 4.3 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Coxtie Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Brentwood station change hands often, and 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 Trinity Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
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.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
