Window & door mastic in Alscot, Buckinghamshire
Our applicators work in Alscot on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Window mastic in Alscot
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. If you have hard, cracked sealant around windows and untidy mastic left by window fitters, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Alscot is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Quotes for window mastic in Alscot
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- The number and length of the joints
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.

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 the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Alscot questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Monks Risborough station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do window mastic in Alscot?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Alscot is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that’s a different fix, and we will say so.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
When to call us in Alscot
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Draughty joints inside around the window
Homes close to St Teresa's Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What the job involves on each surface
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.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Alscot homes and the weather
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.
Rented homes near Monks Risborough station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Schools such as Princes Risborough Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
