The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Pleshey needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Pleshey
The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking joints at the ends of sills and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Homes in small places like Pleshey 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Frames and glazing around Pleshey
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pleshey
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In a small place like Pleshey, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why book with us
- 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Over 20 years’ experience

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Signs you need window mastic in Pleshey
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
In the older streets around Church of Holy Trinity, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
