Window mastic in Baulking
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include mastic that has split away from the wall and draughty joints inside around the window, on timber windows & doors, composite doors and patio & French doors.
Homes in small places like Baulking often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Baulking and across Oxfordshire.

Common questions in Baulking
Is Baulking in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Baulking is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is Baulking within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
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.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.

Signs you need window mastic in Baulking
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. That is what backing rod is for.
Look out for any of the following:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
Around Baulking, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Baulking, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
