Common problems we fix in Ellingham
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- A bead that does not match the frame
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary and All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What insurance they hold
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
About our window mastic in Ellingham
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you are dealing with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Ellingham often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The size of the job
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before work begins.

Common questions in Ellingham
Will you come out to Ellingham?
Yes. Ellingham is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is window mastic in Ellingham guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
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.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch and we will plan for it.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available.
How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ellingham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Most jobs then take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Ellingham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
