Monkey Street Window Mastic
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Monkey Street and across Essex. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Monkey Street
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We work on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and draughty joints inside around the window.
Around Monkey Street, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Quotes for window mastic in Monkey Street
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- The size of the job
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

- Photos by email, if that is easy

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Signs to watch for: 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.

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Monkey Street can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
What we’re called out for in Monkey Street
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
