Window & door mastic in Braughing, Hertfordshire
Professional window mastic in and around Braughing, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters

- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
How we handle window mastic in Braughing
Around Braughing we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you have water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and draughty joints inside around the window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Braughing, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Braughing can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Braughing clients choose us
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Windows and doors in Braughing
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. Historic houses like Much Hadham Palace (about 4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Braughing has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Jenyns First School and Nursery? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How do I get a quote for window mastic in Braughing?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
What sealant 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 have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
How long will my window job take?
Allow a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Surface by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.

When to call us in Braughing
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Braughing, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
