Window mastic in Arborfield Garrison
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Common call-outs are for a bead that doesn’t match the frame and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, on window sills, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors.
In a smaller place like Arborfield Garrison, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That is hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What affects the quote in Arborfield Garrison
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- A few photos by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
Do you need window mastic in Arborfield Garrison?
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 cannot stretch, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Homes close to St Eligius 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 you book
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

Why act early in Arborfield Garrison
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Homes in smaller places like Arborfield Garrison can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why Arborfield Garrison clients choose us

- Soft or decayed wood in the frame

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door in most cases. A visit to Arborfield Garrison is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Frames and glazing around Arborfield Garrison
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Stratfield Saye House (about 4.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Arborfield Garrison has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Wokingham station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like Bohunt School Wokingham? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

Can you do window mastic in Arborfield Garrison?
Yes, Arborfield Garrison is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Wokingham station?

Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
How long will my window job take?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You will know the timing when we quote.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, in most cases. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
