Window mastic in Chiswell Green
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about gaps left after new windows were fitted and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
In smaller places like Chiswell Green, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Chiswell Green and everywhere else we cover.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Parking around Chiswell Green is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

When to call us in Chiswell Green
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Homes close to St. Stephen's Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

- What preparation is included
- What insurance they hold

What else we do in Chiswell Green
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Homes in smaller places like Chiswell Green can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Windows and doors in Chiswell Green
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 High Elms Manor (about 2.3 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Chiswell Green 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’s traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Park Street station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Killigrew Primary and Nursery School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Questions from Chiswell Green
Do you cover Chiswell Green for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Chiswell Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Park Street station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Chiswell Green and the rest of Hertfordshire, along with the rest of our area.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.
How long will my window job take?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
