Walsworth Window Mastic
Our applicators work in Walsworth on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

About our window mastic in Walsworth
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you have old mastic that has gone black or come away and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can help, on composite doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors alike.
Many houses in smaller places like Walsworth have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Walsworth and across Hertfordshire.

Leave it or put it right?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a smaller place like Walsworth, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What we are called out for in Walsworth
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
If you live in an older home near St Faith's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door in most cases. In a smaller place like Walsworth, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Are you an approved applicator?

Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you’re decorating and we’ll choose accordingly.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Look round the frames every year or so
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Walsworth homes and the weather
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 Highover Junior Mixed and Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Hitchin station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
