About our window mastic in Tolleshunt Knights
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. If you are dealing with cracked sealant at the sill ends and draughty joints inside around the window, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Tolleshunt Knights, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Tolleshunt Knights: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Kelvedon station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Tolleshunt Knights within the area you cover?
Yes. Tolleshunt Knights 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 new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
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 check before we reseal.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tolleshunt Knights
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tolleshunt Knights, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll talk you through it.

Do you need window mastic in Tolleshunt Knights?
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Look out for any of the following:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Frames and glazing around Tolleshunt Knights
Historic houses like Layer Marney Tower (about 2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Tolleshunt Knights has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Kelvedon station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like St Luke's Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

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.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
