Window mastic in Chesham Bois

Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. Typical jobs include cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows.

Houses in smaller places like Chesham Bois 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 our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:

  • Wash the frames with mild soapy water
  • Clear any debris from frame drain holes
  • Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
  • Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order

Silicone can’t usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.

A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.

We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
  • A sash or casement that will not close properly
  • Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame

Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Window mastic in Chesham Bois: local notes

Historic houses like Chenies Manor House (about 3.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Chesham Bois 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.

For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Amersham station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What affects the cost of window mastic

For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:

  • Working hours on commercial sites
  • Any mould that needs treating
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Access and height

We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

What we need to know

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

  • The type of property
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
  • Whether it has been sealed before
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email

Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.

How the visit works

Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. A visit to Chesham Bois is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.

  1. We start by checking each window and door with you.
  2. Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
  3. Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
  4. New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
  5. Every joint is checked before we leave.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

When to call us in Chesham Bois

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 can’t flex. That’s what backing rod is for.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:

  • Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
  • Whistling draughts around closed windows
  • A bead that does not match the frame
  • Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal

Schools such as Elangeni School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether all the old sealant comes out first
  • Whether they’re fully insured
  • How hidden problems are handled
  • What the cure time is

10 questions to ask before booking

What happens if it’s left?

Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In an older home around Chesham Bois, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Will you come out to Chesham Bois?

Yes, Chesham Bois is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Do the sealants smell?

There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Where do you work from?

We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.

Is it messy?

We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.

Can new sealant go over the old?

No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Do you work for hotels and businesses?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
