Window mastic in Hill Green, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. If you have cracked sealant at the sill ends and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can help.
Around Hill Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Hill Green questions
Is Hill Green in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Hill Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
What window mastic looks like in Hill Green
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Audley End House (about 4.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hill Green 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.
If you look after a building such as Clavering Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary and St Clement include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Hill Green is about 5 miles south-west of Saffron Walden, in Essex.

What we are called out for in Hill Green
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
If you let a flat or house near Newport (Essex) station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Why act early in Hill Green
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Hill Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Hill Green needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
