Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In a small place like Tolleshunt Major, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Tidy, careful work
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Faulty window hardware
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

FAQs for Tolleshunt Major
Do you cover smaller places like Tolleshunt Major?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Tolleshunt Major any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, for 12 months. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Landlord and commercial work in Tolleshunt Major
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
What happens on the day
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Tolleshunt Major, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.

Frames and glazing around Tolleshunt Major
Tolleshunt Major is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Layer Marney Tower (about 4.3 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tolleshunt Major as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Around Tolleshunt Major, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
