What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Stow Maries, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How we handle window mastic in Stow Maries
Around Stow Maries we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on window sills, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are gaps left after new windows were fitted and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Stow Maries is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stow Maries can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.

Windows and doors in Stow Maries
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near North Fambridge station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Schools such as Cold Norton Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about window mastic in Stow Maries
Is Stow Maries in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Stow Maries is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
