Leave it or put it right?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aldermaston Wharf can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Aldermaston Wharf
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. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have cracked sealant at the sill ends and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Aldermaston Wharf, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Aldermaston Wharf and across West Berkshire.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Frames and glazing around Aldermaston Wharf
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Signs you need window mastic in Aldermaston Wharf
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
Homes close to Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What to look for in a quote
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Is VAT in the price?
- What insurance they hold
What sealant work cannot fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
