Windows and doors in Bladon
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Blenheim Palace (about 0.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bladon as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around St Martin's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Letting a property close to Hanborough station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Window mastic in Bladon
The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Common call-outs are for mastic that has split away from the wall and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, on window sills, uPVC windows and composite doors.
In a village or hamlet like Bladon, 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.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. In a small place like Bladon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Bladon, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

What we are called out for in Bladon
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bladon Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
