Window mastic near Bray

FAQs for Bray

Will you come out to Bray?

Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Is Bray in your area for window mastic?

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Bray is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.

Can I paint over the new sealant?

Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.

Do I need to be at home?

If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

Can I do it myself?

You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.

How long before the joint can be used?

Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.

Can you work on commercial sites?

Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.

Window mastic in Bray

The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about gaps where the sill meets the wall and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster.

Homes in small places like Bray often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Bray as everywhere else we work.

What the job involves on each surface

uPVC windows

Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.

Composite doors

Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.

When it isn’t the sealant

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

  • Condensation trapped between the panes
  • Soft or decayed wood in the frame
  • A sash or casement that will not close properly

Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Where we work in Bray

  • Window sills
  • Composite doors
  • Timber windows & doors
  • uPVC windows
  • Patio & French doors
  • Aluminium frames

How to look after the new joints

After the cure time, these simple habits help:

  • Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
  • Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
  • Don’t paint over the silicone
  • Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic

Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.

On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

What window mastic looks like in Bray

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. Historic houses like Dorney Court (about 1.3 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Bray has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Dorney School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Taplow station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What we’re called out for in Bray

Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.

Any of these means the joints need attention:

  • Leaking joints at the ends of sills
  • Old mastic that has gone black or come away
  • Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
  • A bead that doesn’t match the frame

Homes close to St Michael's Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether you can choose the colour
  • What happens if the job turns out different
  • What product goes in the joint

10 questions to ask before booking

Leave it or put it right?

The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bray can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference.

  2. The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
  3. Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
  4. The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
  5. Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
