Window mastic in Woodhatch: local notes
Historic houses like Hill Hall (about 1.3 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Woodhatch has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
In and around Woodhatch, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint. Historic houses such as Hill Hall, about 1.3 miles south-west, show how far back building around Woodhatch goes.

How we quote for window mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- The problem you’ve noticed
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Woodhatch, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Woodhatch, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

When something else is needed
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep timber frames painted
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

How much does window mastic cost in Woodhatch?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
