How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.

Window mastic in Bendish
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. Common call-outs are for rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and window sills.
Somewhere as small as Bendish, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Bendish and across Hertfordshire.

Do you need window mastic in Bendish?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
Look out for these signs:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Historic houses such as Shaw's Corner, about 3.7 miles south-east, show how far back building around Bendish goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

Frames and glazing around Bendish
Historic houses like Shaw's Corner (about 3.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Bendish has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Breachwood Green Junior Mixed and Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Luton Airport Parkway station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
