If you are 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.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Harmer Green
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you have cold air getting in at the frame edge and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can put it right.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Harmer Green is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

FAQs for Harmer Green
Do you cover Harmer Green for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Harmer Green is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Welwyn North station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How much does window mastic cost in Harmer Green?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
What affects the cost of window mastic

- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with

Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The address or postcode of the job
- The rough size of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Surface by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
For anyone letting property in or around Harmer Green, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
What happens on the day
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are in most cases. Somewhere like Harmer Green 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.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Window mastic in Harmer Green: local notes
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. Historic houses like Digswell House (about 1.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Harmer Green 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.
In the older streets around Digswell Village Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Welwyn North station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you look after a building such as Oaklands Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What else we do in Harmer Green
Why act early in Harmer Green
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Harmer Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
