Frames and glazing around Greensted Green
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. With historic houses such as Hill Hall (about 3.2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Greensted Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Ongar Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Common problems we fix in Greensted Green
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
If you live in an older home near Greensted Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether VAT is included

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
Questions from Greensted Green
Do you cover Greensted Green for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Greensted Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Greensted Green?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Greensted Green and the rest of Essex, along with the rest of our area.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Greensted Green needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:

- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
