Frames and glazing around Rush Green
Historic houses like Knebworth House (about 2.1 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Rush Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like The Thomas Alleyne School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Stevenage station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Common call-outs are for draughty joints inside around the window and old mastic that has gone black or come away, across window sills, aluminium frames and composite doors.
In a village or hamlet like Rush Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We look for the cause first.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. Those corners get the most care.
How we quote for window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Rush Green, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.

Advice
Your questions about window mastic in Rush Green
Can you do window mastic in Rush Green?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Rush Green is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is Rush Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Rush Green is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How much does window mastic cost in Rush Green?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
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.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Rush Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Check the mastic once a year
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
