Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Ashley Green
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on patio & French doors, composite doors and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are cold air getting in at the frame edge and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Around Ashley Green, 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.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Why act early in Ashley Green
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Around Ashley Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Do you need window mastic in Ashley Green?
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- White mastic on grey or black frames
Rented homes near Berkhamsted station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Ashley Green, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Windows and doors in Ashley Green
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Cholesbury Manor House (about 3.1 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ashley Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
If you look after a building such as Ashlyns School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Parish Church of St John the Evangelist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
