Common problems we fix in Cutlers Green
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That is what backing rod is for.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Window mastic in Cutlers Green: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 1 mile south-west) are a reminder that the area around Cutlers 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.
If you let a flat or house near Elsenham station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Thaxted Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

FAQs for Cutlers Green
Will you come out to Cutlers Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do window mastic in Cutlers Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Cutlers Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before any work starts.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
Why deal with it now?
Not every sealant suits a window. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Cutlers Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Cutlers Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.

- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
