Window mastic for homes and businesses in Wimbish Green
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 are dealing with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Wimbish 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- 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
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Wimbish Green homes and the weather
Historic houses like Horham Hall (about 3.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Wimbish Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to St Paul's Mission Room include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Newport (Essex) station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like Wimbish Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.

What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The number and length of the joints
The cost depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 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.
