How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Window mastic in Little Wymondley
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. Typical jobs include mastic that has split away from the wall and cold air getting in at the frame edge, on composite doors, timber windows & doors and window sills.
Homes in small places like Little Wymondley often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Frames and glazing around Little Wymondley
With historic houses such as Knebworth House (about 4.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Wymondley as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Wymondley Junior Mixed and Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Hitchin station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render

Your questions about window mastic in Little Wymondley
I let a flat near Hitchin station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do window mastic in Little Wymondley?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Wymondley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
Can new window sealant be painted?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before we start.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames in most cases. Somewhere like Little Wymondley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Little Wymondley
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. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Look out for these signs:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
