How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Russell's Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
How we handle window mastic in Russell's Green
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We are often asked to deal with a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, across patio & French doors, uPVC windows and composite doors.
Around Russell's Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
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.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before we start. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Russell's Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Russell's Green?
Yes. Russell's Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in Russell's Green affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we’ll say so.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Russell's Green?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Why act early in Russell's Green
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Around Russell's Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Window mastic in Russell's Green: local notes
Russell's Green is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Ninfield Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Cooden Beach station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render

- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
