About our window mastic in Ardington
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on uPVC windows, window sills and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are cold air getting in at the frame edge and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster.
Around Ardington, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Do you need window mastic in Ardington?
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- White mastic on grey or black frames
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, 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. Somewhere like Ardington needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear the area around the work

Schools such as Wantage Primary Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Is Ardington in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Ardington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Does the work come with a guarantee?

Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Will you leave a mess?

What affects the quote in Ardington
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any working-time requirements on site
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
To get a quote, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You will have a clear quote before work begins.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Ardington, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
