Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Theydon Garnon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Your questions about window mastic in Theydon Garnon
Will you come out to Theydon Garnon?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is window mastic in Theydon Garnon guaranteed?
All our work, in Theydon Garnon and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
How it works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Theydon Garnon, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Do not paint over the silicone
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

What else we do in Theydon Garnon
Frames and glazing around Theydon Garnon
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Hill Hall (about 1.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Theydon Garnon 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Theydon Bois Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
