How we handle window mastic in Thorley Street
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can help, on uPVC windows, composite doors and patio & French doors alike.
In a village or hamlet like Thorley Street, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a small place like Thorley Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
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 we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.

Thorley Street homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Much Hadham Palace (about 3.6 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Thorley Street as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St James the Great, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Thorley Hill Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Bishops Stortford station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Thorley Street, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
