What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a village or hamlet like Sibley's Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

About our window mastic in Sibley's Green
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. We work on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Around Sibley'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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Sibley's Green and across Essex.

Windows and doors in Sibley's Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Horham Hall (about 1.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sibley's Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Stansted Airport station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Putteridge High School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Horham Hall, about 1.9 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Sibley's Green.

Sibley's Green questions
I let a flat near Stansted Airport station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Sibley's Green in your area for window mastic?

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.

It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You will know the timing when we quote.

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- Composite doors

Why act early in Sibley's Green
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sibley's Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
