Windows and doors in Moulsham
Historic houses like Hylands (about 1.7 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Moulsham 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Our Lady Immaculate Catholic Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Chelmsford station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.

What else we do in Moulsham
Do you need window mastic in Moulsham?
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:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St John the Evangelist, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why act early in Moulsham
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. Homes in smaller places like Moulsham can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Surface by surface
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
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 we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. A visit to Moulsham is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since 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.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
