How we handle window mastic in Whippendell Bottom
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. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We work on composite doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about mastic that has split away from the wall and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Homes in small places like Whippendell Bottom often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What window mastic looks like in Whippendell Bottom
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Chenies Manor House (about 3.4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Whippendell Bottom as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Kings Langley School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Kings Langley station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What we’re called out for in Whippendell Bottom
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Homes close to Church of St Paul include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

- How long the guarantee is
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Whippendell Bottom, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- A frame that has rotted at the joint

FAQs for Whippendell Bottom
Is Whippendell Bottom in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Whippendell Bottom is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Whippendell Bottom?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How much does window mastic cost in Whippendell Bottom?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.
