Frames and glazing around Hare Hatch
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Harleyford Manor (about 4.3 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Hare Hatch 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.
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Letting a property close to Wargrave station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Hare Hatch is about 4 miles north-east of Woodley, in Wokingham.

Window mastic in Hare Hatch, done properly
Around Hare Hatch we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and rushed sealant from a window installation.
Somewhere as small as Hare Hatch, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Hare Hatch questions
Is Hare Hatch in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hare Hatch is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Hare Hatch?
Yes. Hare Hatch is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we will say so.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.
Signs you need window mastic in Hare Hatch
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Schools such as Robert Piggott CofE Infant School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether VAT is included
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Landlord and commercial work in Hare Hatch
Landlords and letting agents in Hare Hatch can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house for a typical job. Somewhere like Hare Hatch needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What sealant work cannot fix
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
Why it’s worth doing now in Hare Hatch
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. In a small place like Hare Hatch, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
