Earls Colne Window Mastic
We cover Earls Colne for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
How we handle window mastic in Earls Colne
The new joint does not have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you are dealing with cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and black, perished sealant on frames, we can help.
Homes around Earls Colne range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.

Common problems we fix in Earls Colne
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
People normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Managing a site like Earls Colne Primary School and Nursery? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Earls Colne
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
