Window mastic in Great Berry, done properly
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and draughty joints inside around the window, we can help, on aluminium frames, window sills and uPVC windows alike.
Many houses in smaller places like Great Berry have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Common questions in Great Berry
Will you come out to Great Berry?
Yes, Great Berry is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Laindon station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.

Window mastic in Great Berry: local notes
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.
In the older streets around St John, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Laindon station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Managing a site like Great Berry Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
For anyone letting property in or around Great Berry, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Faulty window hardware
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. The work usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a job in Great Berry, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Why act early in Great Berry
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Homes in smaller places like Great Berry can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
