Window mastic across Frating Green and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Window mastic in Frating Green, done properly
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. If you have mastic that’s falling out in pieces and untidy mastic left by window fitters, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Frating Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

FAQs for Frating Green
I let a flat near Great Bentley station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Frating Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Frating Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
How many windows can you do in a day?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.

What we are called out for in Frating Green
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
If you let a flat or house near Great Bentley station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Frating Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Frating Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

- We are fully insured

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
