Window mastic for homes and businesses in Birch Hill
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. If you have a bead that doesn’t match the frame and untidy mastic left by window fitters, we can put it right.
In smaller places like Birch Hill, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Birch Hill and across Bracknell Forest.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Why act early in Birch Hill
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In an older home around Birch Hill, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Will you come out to Birch Hill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Birch Hill?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Usually, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll use the nearest match.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a job in Birch Hill, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
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.
What affects the cost of window mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If someone has resealed it before
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is.
Birch Hill homes and the weather
Bracknell, which Birch Hill is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Birch Hill Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
