How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door from start to finish. In a smaller place like Westmill, 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.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Window mastic in Westmill
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. Common call-outs are for cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, across aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and composite doors.
In a smaller place like Westmill, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Westmill homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oughton Primary and Nursery School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Hitchin station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you live in an older home near St Mark's, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Westmill: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Hitchin station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover Westmill for window mastic?
Yes, Westmill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What does window mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before we start.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before we start. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured.
Should I try it myself first?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
