Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Around Thorley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why Thorley clients choose us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- More than 20 years in sealant work
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
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. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.

- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.

Questions from Thorley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bishops Stortford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Thorley?

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can new window sealant be painted?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you’re decorating and we will choose accordingly.
Thorley homes and the weather
Historic houses like Much Hadham Palace (about 2.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Thorley 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St James the Great, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Richard Whittington Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Bishops Stortford station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
