Window mastic in Breach Barns
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 work on patio & French doors, composite doors and window sills, and people most often call us about white mastic on grey or black frames and hard, cracked sealant around windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Breach Barns is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Breach Barns and everywhere else we cover.

What we are called out for in Breach Barns
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- The length of the guarantee
- What preparation is included
What affects the cost of window mastic
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that is easy.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Around Breach Barns, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What you get with us

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

Breach Barns: your questions answered
Can you do window mastic in Breach Barns?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Breach Barns is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Cheshunt station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
