How we handle window mastic in Hay Street
Homes in Hay Street have every kind of window: 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 composite doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hay Street is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Window mastic in Hay Street: local notes
The South East is one of 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 Much Hadham Palace (about 4.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Hay 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.
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Questions from Hay Street
Is Hay Street within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do window mastic in Hay Street?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hay Street is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can new window sealant be painted?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before work begins.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames normally suit brown.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
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.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Hay Street, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
When to call us in Hay Street
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Managing a site like Jenyns First School and Nursery? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
