What we cannot put right

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Little Leighs
Homes in Little Leighs have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We are often asked to deal with damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, across aluminium frames, uPVC windows and window sills.
Homes in small places like Little Leighs often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Little Leighs and across Essex.

What window mastic looks like in Little Leighs
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Great Leighs Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Cressing station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
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.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Questions from Little Leighs
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cressing station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Little Leighs?
Yes, Little Leighs is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
How long will my window job take?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. Around Little Leighs, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Little Leighs, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
