Window Mastic in Begbroke
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Begbroke and across Oxfordshire. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Common problems we fix in Begbroke
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
In the older streets around Church of St Philip, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Window mastic in Begbroke, done properly
The new joint does not have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We’re often asked to deal with black, perished sealant on frames and cracked sealant at the sill ends, on aluminium frames, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
In a village or hamlet like Begbroke, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Frames and glazing around Begbroke
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 2.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Begbroke has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as William Fletcher Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
How we quote for window mastic
There’s no set price list. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
- Working hours on commercial sites
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Keep timber frames painted
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
