About our window mastic in Wix Green
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. We work on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Somewhere as small as Wix Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
A composite door normally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Wix Green, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Wix Green: your questions answered
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Wix Green 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wrabness station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing and where.
Do you come to Wix Green?
Yes, we do. Wix Green is part of the area we cover.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
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.
Windows and doors in Wix Green
Wix Green is within about 3 miles of 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 Thorpe Hall (about 4.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wix Green as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Wrabness station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Schools such as Wix and Wrabness Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What happens if it’s left?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wix Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
