Will it make a mess?

Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
Window mastic in Great Totham
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking joints at the ends of sills and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
Many houses in smaller places like Great Totham have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before work begins. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
What window mastic looks like in Great Totham
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Witham station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What the job involves on each 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.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Parking around Great Totham is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
What we are called out for in Great Totham
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Schools such as Great Totham Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
