Advice
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Welwyn Garden City
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and window sills, and the jobs we see most are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
In a town like Welwyn Garden City, the windows on the most exposed side of a house take the brunt of the rain, and that’s generally where the sealant gives up first. Checking every frame, not just the obvious one, is time well spent.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why it’s worth doing now in Welwyn Garden City
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. In Welwyn Garden City, as anywhere, most leaks start as a small gap in a joint, and they’re far easier to fix early.

What window mastic looks like in Welwyn Garden City
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Welwyn Garden City is one of England’s garden cities, planned in the early twentieth century. Older garden city homes may still have timber windows, while many have been replaced over the years. Either way, the joint between frame and wall needs a sound bead.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church Of Saint Francis Of Assisi, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Peartree Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

When it isn’t 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)
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so we pay close attention there.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
What we’re called out for in Welwyn Garden City
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
If you let a flat or house near Welwyn Garden City station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Welwyn Garden City: your questions answered
Should the sealant in an older Welwyn Garden City home be renewed?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s normally worth it. Sealant does not last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather.
Do you cover Welwyn Garden City for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Welwyn Garden City is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. You’ll get a timescale with the quote.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we’re done.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months, inside or out.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
