Landlords, agents and businesses in Tilbury Juxta Clare
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
How we handle window mastic in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Frames and walls do not move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about rushed sealant from a window installation and black, perished sealant on frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Tilbury Juxta Clare is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Your questions about window mastic in Tilbury Juxta Clare
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Tilbury Juxta Clare?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Tilbury Juxta Clare within the area you cover?
Yes. Tilbury Juxta Clare is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before any work starts.
How long will my window job take?
Allow a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Signs you need window mastic in Tilbury Juxta Clare
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Black, perished sealant on frames
If you look after a building such as St Andrew's Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. We pay most attention there.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Can I do it myself?
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 are 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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What window mastic looks like in Tilbury Juxta Clare
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Hedingham Castle (about 3 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Tilbury Juxta Clare 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 is traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of St Margaret, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Tilbury Juxta Clare needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- 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
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Tilbury Juxta Clare, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A choice of colours where the product allows

- Faulty window hardware
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
