Window mastic in Cheshunt, done properly
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are old mastic that has gone black or come away and hard, cracked sealant around windows.
Cheshunt mixes older streets, where windows have often been replaced, with newer estates fitted with uPVC. In every case, the joint between frame and wall is what keeps water out.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Cheshunt and across Hertfordshire.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

- The size of the job

Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Frames and glazing around Cheshunt
Historic houses like Forty Hall (about 3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Cheshunt has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Andrews Lane Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to St Mary the Virgin include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Cheshunt station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Landlord and commercial work in Cheshunt
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can go on one quote.
Letting agents and landlords in Cheshunt can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Why it’s worth doing now in Cheshunt
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Gaps in sealant and mould in the bead never get better on their own, and in a busy household in Cheshunt they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Questions from Cheshunt
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cheshunt station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Cheshunt?
All our work, in Cheshunt and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before work begins.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
