About our window mastic in Woodcock Hill
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. We work on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and whistling draughts around closed windows.
Somewhere as small as Woodcock Hill, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

What window mastic looks like in Woodcock Hill
Historic houses like Ickenham Hall (about 4.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Woodcock Hill has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Rickmansworth station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Why deal with it now?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Woodcock Hill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a village or hamlet like Woodcock Hill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Signs you need window mastic in Woodcock Hill
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
If you look after a building such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Faulty window hardware

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Do not paint over the silicone
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
