DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Ringshall
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on composite doors, uPVC windows and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are black, perished sealant on frames and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
Around Ringshall, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Check the mastic once a year
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In and around Ringshall, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. If you let a flat or house near Tring station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
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 suits the frame.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Ringshall needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Leave it or put it right?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a small place like Ringshall, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
