How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Debden Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

About our window mastic in Debden Green
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. If you’re dealing with gaps left after new windows were fitted and hard, cracked sealant around windows, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Debden Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before work begins. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t 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 Debden Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

What affects the quote in Debden Green
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Common problems we fix in Debden Green
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Historic houses such as Horham Hall, about 1.6 miles south, show how far back building around Debden Green goes.

Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
FAQs for Debden Green
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Debden Green?
Yes. Debden Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal.
How long will my window job take?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Frames and glazing around Debden Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 1.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Debden Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
