About our window mastic in Radlett
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you are dealing with gaps where the sill meets the wall and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can help, on aluminium frames, composite doors and patio & French doors alike.
Around Radlett, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Radlett homes and the weather
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. Historic houses like High Elms Manor (about 3.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Radlett has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Radlett station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Homes close to St John include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can carry on as normal. The job normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Parking around Radlett is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Questions from Radlett
Do you work for landlords with property near Radlett station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Radlett?
Yes, Radlett is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Faulty window hardware
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Do you need window mastic in Radlett?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
People normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St John's Church of England Infant and Nursery School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
