How we handle window mastic in Netteswell
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We are often asked to deal with black, perished sealant on frames and draughty joints inside around the window, across aluminium frames, patio & French doors and uPVC windows.
In smaller places like Netteswell, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

FAQs for Netteswell
I let a flat near Harlow Town station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Should the sealant in an older Netteswell home be renewed?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s generally worth it. Sealant doesn’t last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Usually, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll use the nearest match.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
How long will my window job take?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. We will tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house and we leave things clean and tidy. In a smaller place like Netteswell, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

What else we do in Netteswell
Can I do it myself?
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.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Surface by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills

Landlord and commercial work in Netteswell
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Silicone can’t usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
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.
Windows and doors in Netteswell
Harlow, which Netteswell is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Freshwaters Primary Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around St Andrew's Methodist Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Harlow Town station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
