Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
About our window mastic in Patchetts Green
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We’re often asked to deal with a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors.
Homes in small places like Patchetts Green 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

Questions from Patchetts Green
Do you cover Patchetts Green for window mastic?
Yes, Patchetts Green is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Watford North station?

Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch and we’ll plan for it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward 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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When to call us in Patchetts Green
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Schools such as Queens' School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- Whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What the cure time is

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are in most cases. Somewhere like Patchetts Green 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.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Window mastic in Patchetts Green: local notes
With historic houses such as High Elms Manor (about 3 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Patchetts Green 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Watford North station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
