Window mastic in Westwick Row
Around Westwick Row we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Typical jobs include rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and cold air getting in at the frame edge, across timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Westwick Row is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

What else we do in Westwick Row
Signs you need window mastic in Westwick Row
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Managing a site like Leverstock Green Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
What affects the quote in Westwick Row
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- The number of rooms or windows
- Access and height
- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The type of property
- If someone has resealed it before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that is easy
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Westwick Row, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

FAQs for Westwick Row
I let a flat near Apsley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Westwick Row within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we’re ARBOMaster approved applicators.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Westwick Row homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Batchwood Hall (about 3.1 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Westwick Row as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Apsley station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Homes close to Church of Holy Trinity include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
