Advice
Window mastic in White Notley
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can help, on window sills, composite doors and timber windows & doors alike.
Around White Notley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep timber frames painted
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
White Notley: your questions answered
I let a flat near White Notley station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do window mastic in White Notley?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and White Notley is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What happens if it’s left?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like White Notley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

What window mastic looks like in White Notley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Ethelreda, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as New Rickstones Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first

Signs you need window mastic in White Notley
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Look out for these signs:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
If you let a flat or house near White Notley station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
