How we handle window mastic in Polstead
Around Polstead we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Common call-outs are for cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and cold air getting in at the frame edge, on window sills, composite doors and aluminium frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Polstead is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

What window mastic looks like in Polstead
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.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why act early in Polstead
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Polstead, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. 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.

When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In a small place like Polstead, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
