Surface by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Window mastic in Cholesbury
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Common call-outs are for draughty joints inside around the window and leaking joints at the ends of sills, on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and window sills.
Homes in small places like Cholesbury often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

What window mastic looks like in Cholesbury
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Cholesbury Manor House (about 0.1 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Cholesbury has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Hawridge and Cholesbury Church of England School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Tring station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What else we do in Cholesbury
Why it’s worth doing now in Cholesbury
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. Around Cholesbury, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Cholesbury customers choose us
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Over 20 years’ experience
- You choose the colour before work begins
- Rated 4.9 stars on Google
Common problems we fix in Cholesbury
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
If you live in an older home near Church of St Lawrence, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Before booking anyone
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement
Honest limits
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
