About our window mastic in Akeley
Around Akeley we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you are dealing with sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Akeley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.

What window mastic looks like in Akeley
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Stowe House (about 2.1 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Akeley has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you look after a building such as Akeley Wood Senior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
If you manage several properties in or around Akeley, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each.
Signs you need window mastic in Akeley
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary (Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary), replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
A yearly look round the frames is enough. 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.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Akeley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
