Do you need window mastic in Hatch End?
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Hatch End is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Window mastic in Hatch End, done properly
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Common call-outs are for untidy mastic left by window fitters and old mastic that has gone black or come away, on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors.
Many London homes are flats, with windows high above the street. In a converted house or block, the lease normally says who is responsible for the windows, so it’s worth checking before booking, and access in Hatch End is something to talk through when you book.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Hatch End homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Headstone Manor (about 1 mile south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hatch End as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For an older house near a landmark such as Pinner Baptist Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Pinner Park Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Hatch End: your questions answered
Is Hatch End in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hatch End is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hatch End station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries a 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame

What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a London area like Hatch End, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about parking restrictions
