Which products do you use?

Window mastic in Temple Dinsley, done properly
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. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you are dealing with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows, we can help.
Homes in small places like Temple Dinsley often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.

Why act early in Temple Dinsley
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. 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 Temple Dinsley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, including the tidy-up.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
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.
How we quote for window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Any previous sealing or DIY work

What window mastic looks like in Temple Dinsley
Historic houses like Knebworth House (about 3.5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Temple Dinsley 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 is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Preston Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Martin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Stevenage 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.
