Window mastic in Bulstrode
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you have draughts coming in around windows and doors and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Bulstrode, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Bulstrode, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in Bulstrode
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bulstrode, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Window mastic in Bulstrode: local notes
Historic houses like Chenies Manor House (about 3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Bulstrode 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Schools such as Bovingdon Primary Academy are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Hemel Hempstead station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep timber frames painted
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
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 small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
