Window mastic in Bricket Wood
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can help.
Homes around Bricket Wood range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Bricket Wood and everywhere else we cover.

Windows and doors in Bricket Wood
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 High Elms Manor (about 1.1 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Bricket Wood has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mount Pleasant Lane Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. For landlords with property near Bricket Wood station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Related advice
Why act early in Bricket Wood
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In an older home around Bricket Wood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that is what we find.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
