Advice
Window mastic in Faulkbourne, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are cracked sealant at the sill ends and white mastic on grey or black frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Faulkbourne is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee.

How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Your questions about window mastic in Faulkbourne
Can you help a landlord with a rental near White Notley station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Faulkbourne?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep timber frames painted
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.

Faulkbourne homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like New Rickstones Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to White Notley station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Germanus, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why it’s worth doing now in Faulkbourne
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a small place like Faulkbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
