How we handle window mastic in High Wych
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about cracked sealant at the sill ends and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
Homes in small places like High Wych often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Do you need window mastic in High Wych?
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
If you let a flat or house near Harlow Mill station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Honest limits
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint

Your questions about window mastic in High Wych
Do you cover smaller places like High Wych?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Harlow Mill station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover High Wych and the rest of Hertfordshire.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like High Wych, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like High Wych 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.
- 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.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.

Windows and doors in High Wych
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Much Hadham Palace (about 3.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around High Wych as well as newer homes. 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 James the Great, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as High Wych Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
