Window mastic in Lamb Corner, done properly
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If you’re dealing with damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can help.
Homes in small places like Lamb Corner often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Lamb Corner 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 go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Common problems we fix in Lamb Corner
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
For landlords with property near Manningtree station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What window mastic looks like in Lamb Corner
Historic houses like Castle House (about 0.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Lamb Corner 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Managing a site like Dedham Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lamb Corner, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

When it is not the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
