About our window mastic in Harold Hill
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and window sills, and the jobs we see most are whistling draughts around closed windows and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Houses in smaller places like Harold Hill can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Your questions about window mastic in Harold Hill
Do you cover Harold Hill for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Harold Hill is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Harold Hill?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Essex.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Parking around Harold Hill is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints

Windows and doors in Harold Hill
With historic houses such as Hare Hall (about 1.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Harold Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Drapers' Pyrgo Priory School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Harold Wood station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. In the older streets around St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Faulty window hardware
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
