What else we do in Marks Tey
Can I do it myself?
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Look round the frames every year or so
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What we do, step by step
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and the area is left clean. Somewhere as small as Marks Tey, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

When it is not the sealant
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped

What we are called out for in Marks Tey
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Rented homes near Marks Tey station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What window mastic looks like in Marks Tey
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Layer Marney Tower (about 3.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Marks Tey as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
