How the visit works
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Appleford-on-Thames, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Window mastic in Appleford-on-Thames
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Common call-outs are for sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, across composite doors, patio & French doors and window sills.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Appleford-on-Thames is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Appleford-on-Thames as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so we use a flexible, low-modulus sealant. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.
Why deal with it now?
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Appleford-on-Thames, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

Appleford-on-Thames homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor (about 1.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Appleford-on-Thames as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Didcot Girls' School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Appleford station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Appleford-on-Thames questions
Is Appleford-on-Thames in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Appleford-on-Thames is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Appleford-on-Thames within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we’ll match it as closely as we can.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How many windows can you do in a day?
A handful of frames is a short visit. You will get a timescale with the quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Most silicone can’t be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Appleford-on-Thames
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
