What window mastic looks like in Bishop's Green
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Shaw House (about 3.6 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Bishop's Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Cheam School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Newbury Racecourse station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Bishop's Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Do you need window mastic in Bishop's Green?
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
The most common problems we see are:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How much experience the applicator has
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
