Window & door mastic in Little Walden, Essex
Professional window mastic in and around Little Walden, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep timber frames painted
- Check the mastic once a year
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Little Walden
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the number of frames and any access details. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and rushed sealant from a window installation.
Somewhere as small as Little Walden, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Why act early in Little Walden
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a small place like Little Walden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

FAQs for Little Walden
Is Little Walden within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you work for landlords with property near Great Chesterford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
Common problems we fix in Little Walden
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
If you let a flat or house near Great Chesterford station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What product goes in the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- How much experience the applicator has
Frames and glazing around Little Walden
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. Historic houses like Audley End House (about 2.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Little Walden 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.
If you live in an older home near St John, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Saffron Walden County High School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How the job changes by surface
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.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Little Walden needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
