Surface by surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Window mastic in Little Thurrock, done properly
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and leaking joints at the ends of sills, across window sills, patio & French doors and aluminium frames.
In a smaller place like Little Thurrock, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Thurrock.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Look round the frames every year or so
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Faulty window hardware
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and we explain the cure time before we leave. For a job in Little Thurrock, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
FAQs for Little Thurrock
Do you cover smaller places like Little Thurrock?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Little Thurrock in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Thurrock is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Windows and doors in Little Thurrock
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 an older house near a landmark such as St John the Evangelist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Deneholm Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Grays station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
