About our window mastic in Blackbird Leys
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. If you have a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can help, on patio & French doors, window sills and timber windows & doors alike.
Around Blackbird Leys, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Why deal with it now?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In a smaller place like Blackbird Leys, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear quote before work begins.

When to call us in Blackbird Leys
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- A bead that does not match the frame
Schools such as St John Fisher Catholic Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not

Frames and glazing around Blackbird Leys
With historic houses such as Garsington Manor (about 2.3 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Blackbird Leys as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
For landlords with property near Radley station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Family, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
