What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window

About our window mastic in Great Easton
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on composite doors, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and black, perished sealant on frames.
Homes in small places like Great Easton often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Frames and glazing around Great Easton
With historic houses such as Horham Hall (about 2.7 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Great Easton 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Helena Romanes School and Sixth Form Centre are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St John and St Giles, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep timber frames painted
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
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.
Common questions in Great Easton
Can you do window mastic in Great Easton?
Yes, Great Easton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Stansted Airport station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will use the nearest match.
Do you need window mastic in Great Easton?
Frames are never completely still. 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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
For landlords with property near Stansted Airport station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
What happens if it’s left?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In a small place like Great Easton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
