About our window mastic in Hare Street
Around Hare Street we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about untidy mastic left by window fitters and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Homes in small places like Hare Street often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Signs you need window mastic in Hare Street
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret of Antioch, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Hare Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Hare Street homes and the weather
Historic houses like Hill Hall (about 3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Hare Street 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Hare Street, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Hare Street is about 5 miles north-west of Brentwood, in Essex. Hare Street gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 644 places across Essex. Chelmsford is on our list too, around 12 miles away.

Hare Street: your questions answered
Do you cover Hare Street for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hare Street is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Hare Street?
All our work, in Hare Street and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we are using and why.
Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Hare Street, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Letting agents and landlords in Hare Street can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Why act early in Hare Street
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. Around Hare Street, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
