What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Dengie, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Frames and glazing around Dengie
Dengie is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Southminster station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Dengie is about 4 miles north-east of Burnham-on-Crouch, in Essex. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Dengie can book us for window mastic. The work is guaranteed for a year.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Why act early in Dengie
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In a small place like Dengie, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

FAQs for Dengie
Does the coastal weather in Dengie affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Is Dengie within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
