Window mastic for homes and businesses in Durfold Wood
Homes in Durfold Wood have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Typical jobs include mastic that has split away from the wall and cracked sealant at the sill ends, across timber windows & doors, composite doors and window sills.
Around Durfold Wood, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What we are called out for in Durfold Wood
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- White mastic on grey or black frames
If you look after a building such as Plaistow and Kirdford Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- Whether VAT is included
Landlords, agents and businesses in Durfold Wood
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why act early in Durfold Wood
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Durfold Wood, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost 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, so you know where you stand.
Why book with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We never seal over old sealant

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
