Window mastic for homes and businesses in Pattiswick
The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We’re often asked to deal with gaps where the sill meets the wall and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Pattiswick, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Pattiswick and across Essex.

Frames and glazing around Pattiswick
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary The Virgin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Stisted Church of England Primary Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pattiswick
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a small place like Pattiswick, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

What sealant do you use?

Landlord and commercial work in Pattiswick
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work 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. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Common problems we fix in Pattiswick
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Rented homes near Braintree Freeport 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.
