Window mastic in Mulberry Green
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. Common call-outs are for white mastic on grey or black frames and rushed sealant from a window installation, on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and window sills.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Mulberry Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What we are called out for in Mulberry Green
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Windows and doors in Mulberry Green
With historic houses such as Layer Marney Tower (about 2.8 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Mulberry Green 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Marks Tey station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like The Stanway School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Common questions in Mulberry Green
Do you cover smaller places like Mulberry Green?
Yes. Mulberry Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Marks Tey station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What does window mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What affects the quote in Mulberry Green
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Check the mastic once a year
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Look out for the warning signs: 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Mulberry Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. We will give you a clear price for the lot.

What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
