Window mastic in Eight Ash Green
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you have gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can help, on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Eight Ash Green is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Eight Ash Green and everywhere else we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What we’re called out for in Eight Ash Green
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
People generally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
If you live in an older home near All Saints Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Eight Ash Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Advice
Eight Ash Green homes and the weather
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.
Schools such as Holy Trinity CofE Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Marks Tey station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
