Why act early in Aldworth
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Aldworth 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, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

Window mastic in Aldworth
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you have a bead that doesn’t match the frame and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can help.
Homes in small places like Aldworth often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Aldworth and across Oxfordshire.

Questions from Aldworth
Do you cover smaller places like Aldworth?
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.
I let a flat near Goring & Streatley station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.

More services for Aldworth
Do you need window mastic in Aldworth?
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
If you look after a building such as The Downs School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Aldworth homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Basildon Park (about 3.6 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Aldworth as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around St Mary's church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Letting a property close to Goring & Streatley station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job.

- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
