FAQs for Hare Green
Will you come out to Hare Green?
Yes. Hare Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Great Bentley station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
About our window mastic in Hare Green
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. If you have whistling draughts around closed windows and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Hare Green is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Hare Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Why act early in Hare Green
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In a small place like Hare Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- We are fully insured
What window mastic looks like in Hare Green
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 Castle House (about 5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Hare Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Church of St George, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Great Bentley station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Do you need window mastic in Hare Green?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
If you look after a building such as St George's Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
