Window & door mastic in Aspenden, Hertfordshire
Window and door frames in Aspenden need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Window mastic in Aspenden
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We are often asked to deal with gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, on window sills, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
In a village or hamlet like Aspenden, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we’re called out for in Aspenden
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Aspenden, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
