What the job involves on each surface

Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.

Windows and doors in Little Chesterford
The South East is one of the drier parts 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 2.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Chesterford 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 Great Chesterford Church of England Primary Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.

Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before any work starts.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.

- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Faulty window hardware
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What affects the quote in Little Chesterford
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Little Chesterford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
