Landlord and commercial work in Chenies
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Window mastic in Chenies, done properly
Around Chenies 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. We work on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and mastic that has split away from the wall.
Somewhere as small as Chenies, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Signs you need window mastic in Chenies
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
For landlords with property near Chalfont & Latimer station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.

What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
What window mastic looks like in Chenies
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Chenies Manor House (about 0.2 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Chenies 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.
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as Chenies School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
