How we handle window mastic in Tye Green
There are two joints on most windows. 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. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, across timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Around Tye Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Tye Green as everywhere else we work.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Check the mastic once a year
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Tye Green: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Tye Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Tye Green?
Yes, Tye Green is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Window mastic in Tye Green: local notes
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 Cressing station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cressing Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Tye Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Related advice
When to call us in Tye Green
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
For an older house near a landmark such as St Barnabas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Are they insured?
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How long the guarantee is

When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
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 they get particular care.
