Questions from Bishop's Stortford
Is window mastic in Bishop's Stortford guaranteed?
All our work, in Bishop's Stortford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you do window mastic in Bishop's Stortford?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bishop's Stortford is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Will resealing my frames help with 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 reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
How it works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Parking in a town like Bishop's Stortford is generally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
Window mastic in Bishop's Stortford: local notes
With historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace (about 3.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bishop's Stortford 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Bishops Stortford station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like St Michael's Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
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.

Why deal with it now?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Around Bishop's Stortford, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Left alone, that means rot, damp and a bigger repair.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
