Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Leaden Roding, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Leaden Roding
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
In a village or hamlet like Leaden Roding, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house in most cases. Somewhere as small as Leaden Roding, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Leaden Roding homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Barrington Hall (about 3.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Leaden Roding 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. 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.
Homes close to Parish Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common problems we fix in Leaden Roding
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Schools such as Rodings Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. 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 chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
