About our window mastic in Oak Corner
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster.
Homes in small places like Oak Corner often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Why deal with it now?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Around Oak Corner, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
Frames and glazing around Oak Corner
Oak Corner is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Thorpe Hall (about 2.4 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Oak Corner as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Leonard, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Oak Corner questions
I let a flat near Thorpe-Le-Soken station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Oak Corner?
Yes. Oak Corner is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.

Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Oak Corner, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
What we are called out for in Oak Corner
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Rented homes near Thorpe-Le-Soken station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
