For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Windows and doors in Great Canney
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.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near North Fambridge station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Do not paint over the silicone
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need window mastic in Great Canney
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughty joints inside around the window
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cold Norton Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared

Your questions about window mastic in Great Canney
Do you cover smaller places like Great Canney?
Yes. Great Canney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near North Fambridge station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Faulty window hardware
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
