DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Faulty window hardware
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What window mastic looks like in Horseman Side
Historic houses like Hill Hall (about 4.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Horseman Side has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Brentwood station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like Drapers' Academy? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. We pay most attention there.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Horseman Side, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.

Related advice
Do you need window mastic in Horseman Side?
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The most common problems we see are:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
In the older streets around Church of St Paul, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
