Window mastic in Fryerning, done properly
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We work on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Fryerning is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep timber frames painted
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Check the mastic once a year
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
What we are called out for in Fryerning
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- White mastic on grey or black frames
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common questions in Fryerning
Is Fryerning within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do window mastic in Fryerning?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fryerning is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
How long will my window job take?
The work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Why act early in Fryerning
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. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fryerning can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

What window mastic looks like in Fryerning
With historic houses such as Ingatestone Hall (about 1.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fryerning as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Ingatestone Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Ingatestone station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.

We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Fryerning, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
