Window mastic in Little Horkesley: local notes
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Bures station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Horkesley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Do the sealants smell?

Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.

The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

What else we do in Little Horkesley
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
Surface by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Little Horkesley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
