What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Finchingfield
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We’re often asked to deal with leaking joints at the ends of sills and whistling draughts around closed windows, across composite doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
In a village or hamlet like Finchingfield, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Quotes for window mastic in Finchingfield
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the property is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will come back to you with a quote.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Faulty window hardware
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Finchingfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Advice
Finchingfield 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.
Homes close to Parish Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Around Finchingfield, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
