Window mastic across Sacombe Green and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.

Window mastic in Sacombe Green, done properly
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have gaps where the sill meets the wall and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can put it right.
Around Sacombe Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in Sacombe Green
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- White mastic on grey or black frames
If you live in an older home near Church of St Katherine, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Windows and doors in Sacombe Green
Historic houses like Aston Bury (about 4.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Sacombe Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Ralph Sadleir Middle School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Watton-At-Stone station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.

What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and 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 Sacombe Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
What we can’t put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Condensation trapped between the panes
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
