Window Mastic in Point Clear
We cover Point Clear for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Draughty joints inside around the window
The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Point Clear, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

About our window mastic in Point Clear
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. If you have black, perished sealant on frames and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Point Clear 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.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Common questions in Point Clear
Is Point Clear within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Point Clear?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

Signs you need window mastic in Point Clear
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Schools such as Colne Community School and College are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Before you book anyone
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What the cure time is
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Point Clear, 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 generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What you get with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Over 20 years’ experience

Frames and glazing around Point Clear
Point Clear is close to 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Great Bentley station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St James, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before we start. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
