DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Window mastic in Far Thorpe Green, done properly
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after new windows were fitted and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Homes in small places like Far Thorpe Green 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Far Thorpe Green as everywhere else we work.

Frames and glazing around Far Thorpe Green
Far Thorpe Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Thorpe Hall (about 1.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Far Thorpe Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Rolph CofE Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Weeley station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

Far Thorpe Green: your questions answered
I let a flat near Weeley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Far Thorpe Green affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
What does window mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area.
Signs you need window mastic in Far Thorpe Green
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Far Thorpe Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
