Windows and doors in Farther Howegreen
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Parish Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near North Fambridge station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Window mastic in Farther Howegreen, done properly
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. Common call-outs are for cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, across window sills, timber windows & doors and composite doors.
Homes in small places like Farther Howegreen often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Farther Howegreen questions
Is Farther Howegreen within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near North Fambridge station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
How long will my window job take?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is the new sealant paintable?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Farther Howegreen 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.

Advice
Do you need window mastic in Farther Howegreen?
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Schools such as Cold Norton Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Who turns up on the day
- Are they insured?
- How hidden problems are handled

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t paint over the silicone
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
