Brown Candover Window Mastic
Window and door frames in Brown Candover need attention? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, with a 12-month guarantee.
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
How we handle window mastic in Brown Candover
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you have gaps where the sill meets the wall and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can put it right.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Brown Candover is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Do you need window mastic in Brown Candover?
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What affects the quote in Brown Candover
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The number and length of the joints
No two jobs are quite the same, 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
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it’s a home or a business
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and add photos by email if you can.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
