What affects the cost of window mastic
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- How easy the joints are to reach
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
About our window mastic in Ashridge
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before any work starts. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Ashridge. Common call-outs are for white mastic on grey or black frames and leaking joints at the ends of sills, across aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors.
In a village or hamlet like Ashridge, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.

Advice
Do you need window mastic in Ashridge?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Rented homes near Berkhamsted station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
