Window mastic in King's Walden, done properly
Around King's Walden we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Common call-outs are for hard, cracked sealant around windows and untidy mastic left by window fitters, across uPVC windows, window sills and composite doors.
Around King's Walden, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Windows and doors in King's Walden
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. Historic houses like Knebworth House (about 4.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around King's Walden has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Luton Airport Parkway station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Leave it or put it right?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around King's Walden, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Do you need window mastic in King's Walden?
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Breachwood Green Junior Mixed and Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Before booking anyone
- What happens if the job turns out different
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How long to leave it before use
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.

Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
