Do you need window mastic in Doddinghurst Common?
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
In the older streets around New Church of St Nicholas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Frames and glazing around Doddinghurst Common
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Shenfield station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Kelvedon Hatch Community Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Doddinghurst Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.

Doddinghurst Common questions
Do you cover smaller places like Doddinghurst Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Shenfield station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
