How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Window mastic in Stonebridge
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. If you’re dealing with mastic that’s falling out in pieces and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Stonebridge is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Stonebridge and everywhere else we cover.

What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Stonebridge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stonebridge, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What window mastic looks like in Stonebridge
Stonebridge is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Southchurch Hall (about 2.1 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stonebridge as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Thorpe Bay station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Barling Magna Primary Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Stonebridge questions
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Stonebridge?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you cover smaller places like Stonebridge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
How long will my window job take?
Allow anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Don’t point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Common problems we fix in Stonebridge
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Historic houses such as Southchurch Hall, about 2.1 miles south-west, show how far back building around Stonebridge goes.

What affects the cost of window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The number and length of the joints
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
