Tewin Wood Window Mastic
Our applicators work in Tewin Wood on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
What we can’t put right
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
Window mastic in Tewin Wood, done properly
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are old mastic that has gone black or come away and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Tewin Wood is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

How we quote for window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The type of property
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.
What we are called out for in Tewin Wood
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
If you let a flat or house near Welwyn North station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
What to look for in a quote
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames in most cases. Somewhere like Tewin Wood needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky

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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tewin Wood
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Around Tewin Wood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
