Problem with your window and door frames in Friar's Wash? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.

How we handle window mastic in Friar's Wash
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you are dealing with rushed sealant from a window installation and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Friar's Wash is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We’ll tell you if that is what we find.
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 suits the frame.

Why act early in Friar's Wash
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a small place like Friar's Wash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Check the mastic once a year
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Friar's Wash homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Childwickbury Manor (about 4.5 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Friar's Wash as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Harpenden station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Schools such as Flamstead Village School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
