Window mastic in Bush Fair, done properly
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, we can put it right, on timber windows & doors, window sills and aluminium frames alike.
Houses in smaller places like Bush Fair can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Frames and glazing around Bush Fair
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Bush Fair is part of Harlow, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Pear Tree Mead Academy, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near St Stephen, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Bush Fair: your questions answered
Do older homes in Bush Fair need their sealant replacing?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s usually worth it. Sealant does not last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather.
Do you work for landlords with property near Harlow Town station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames normally suit brown.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Bush Fair?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bush Fair
Not every sealant suits a window. 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. In a smaller place like Bush Fair, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do you need window mastic in Bush Fair?
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That is what backing rod is for.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
If you let a flat or house near Harlow Town station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Bush Fair, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
