How we handle window mastic in Edney Common

Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. Common call-outs are for whistling draughts around closed windows and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, on window sills, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors.

Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Edney Common is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Edney Common

Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Older cottages and farmhouses around Edney Common can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Questions from Edney Common

Will you come out to Edney Common?

Yes, Edney Common is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Is Edney Common in your area for window mastic?

Yes, Edney Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

How long before the joint can be used?

Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.

Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?

Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.

Can you do upstairs windows?

Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch and we’ll plan for it.

Do you work for letting agents?

Yes, we do. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.

Can new window sealant be painted?

Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.

How the job changes by surface

Composite doors

Draughts round the door leaf usually come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.

Aluminium frames

Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.

How it works

Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, and the area is left clean. Somewhere like Edney Common needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

  1. Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
  2. The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
  3. Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
  4. The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
  5. Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking rules near the property
  • Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
  • Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How to get a quote

Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.

Advice

Windows and doors in Edney Common

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Hylands (about 2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Edney Common 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.

Homes close to St Paul's Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Ingatestone station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like Highwood Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How we quote for window mastic

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • The size of the job
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • The product the joint needs
  • How many areas need sealing

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 explain what it covers.

Helping us quote

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • If someone has resealed it before
  • Whether it’s a home or a business
  • The rough size of the job

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.

Aftercare tips

Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:

  • Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
  • Keep paint off silicone joints
  • Clear any debris from frame drain holes
  • Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer

Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.

Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:

  • A sash or casement that will not close properly
  • A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
  • Condensation trapped between the panes

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
