Window & door mastic in Mowden, Essex
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Mowden and across Essex. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Black, perished sealant on frames
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Mowden, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- 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
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How we handle window mastic in Mowden
Around Mowden we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps left after new windows were fitted and draughty joints inside around the window.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Mowden is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Mowden
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Mowden
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hatfield Peverel station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Can you do window mastic in Mowden?
Yes, Mowden is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we will say so.
How long will my window job take?
Allow a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Mowden and the rest of Essex.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Frames and glazing around Mowden
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Danbury Place (about 3.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Mowden as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Historic houses such as Danbury Place, about 3.3 miles south, show how far back building around Mowden goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why deal with it now?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a small place like Mowden, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in Mowden
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Rented homes near Hatfield Peverel station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
