Common problems we fix in Amen Corner
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
How we handle window mastic in Amen Corner
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on composite doors, window sills and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are white mastic on grey or black frames and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Around Amen Corner, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
What affects the quote in Amen Corner
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The rough size of the job

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Frames and glazing around Amen Corner
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Bracknell, which Amen Corner is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start.
Schools such as Jennett's Park CofE Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a job in Amen Corner, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Common questions in Amen Corner
Do older homes in Amen Corner need their sealant replacing?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant will not bond to it.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll use the nearest match.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Why it’s worth doing now in Amen Corner
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In an older home around Amen Corner, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
