Window mastic for homes and businesses in Elsenham
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We are often asked to deal with rushed sealant from a window installation and cold air getting in at the frame edge, on window sills, composite doors and aluminium frames.
Homes around Elsenham range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Frames and glazing around Elsenham
Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 4 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Elsenham has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Forest Hall School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Elsenham station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Elsenham: your questions answered
I let a flat near Elsenham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is Elsenham within the area you cover?
Yes, Elsenham is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Elsenham?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. A visit to Elsenham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
