The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Little Tey, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

How we handle window mastic in Little Tey
Around Little Tey we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Common call-outs are for cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and draughts coming in around windows and doors, on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and composite doors.
In a village or hamlet like Little Tey, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Signs you need window mastic in Little Tey
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
If you look after a building such as Honywood Community Science School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What guarantee comes with the work
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
Little Tey: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Marks Tey station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Little Tey for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Tey is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What window mastic looks like in Little Tey
Historic houses like Layer Marney Tower (about 4.4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Little Tey has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, 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.
Rented homes near Marks Tey station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Tey can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.
