Window mastic in Ware, done properly
Around Ware we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
In a town like Ware, older houses sit alongside newer estates, with windows of every age. All of them depend on a sound bead of mastic between frame and wall.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Do you need window mastic in Ware?
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Christ Church CofE (VA) Primary School and Nursery, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. A visit in Ware needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
When it is not the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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.

Common questions in Ware
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Ware station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Ware?
All our work, in Ware and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Windows and doors in Ware
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Ware station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
