Window mastic in Beenham Stocks
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on composite doors, window sills and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about mastic that has split away from the wall and draughts coming in around windows and doors.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Beenham Stocks is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
Why act early in Beenham Stocks
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Around Beenham Stocks, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Beenham Stocks, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Do you need window mastic in Beenham Stocks?
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Look out for any of the following:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Managing a site like Beenham Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first

What affects the cost of window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
Combining jobs into one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.

Questions from Beenham Stocks
Can you do window mastic in Beenham Stocks?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Beenham Stocks is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aldermaston station?

Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
