Window & door mastic in Aston Tirrold, Oxfordshire
Problem with your window and door frames in Aston Tirrold? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly.
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.
About our window mastic in Aston Tirrold
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Aston Tirrold is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Aston Tirrold, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Do you cover Aston Tirrold for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Aston Tirrold is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cholsey station?

Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
How much does window mastic cost in Aston Tirrold?

What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we are fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Aston Tirrold
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. That’s what backing rod is for.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Homes close to Church of St Michael include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Why act early in Aston Tirrold
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In a small place like Aston Tirrold, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
