Window mastic in Buckingham, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic that’s falling out in pieces and whistling draughts around closed windows.
In a town like Buckingham, older houses sit alongside newer estates, with windows of every age. All of them depend on a sound bead of mastic between frame and wall.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and 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.
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Check the mastic once a year
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
Buckingham questions
Is window mastic in Buckingham guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
What’s the best way to get a price for window mastic in Buckingham?
The easiest way is to ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job. You will get a clear, fixed price before any work starts.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before work begins, so mention the height and anything in the way.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Most silicone can’t be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Around Buckingham, failed sealant lets water into hidden places, like the floor under a bath, the back of a panel or the inside of a wall. Whatever the joint, failed sealant only gets worse.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.

What we’re called out for in Buckingham
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
For an older house near a landmark such as St Peter and St Paul, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- What the cure time is
- Who turns up on the day
- Is the old sealant removed completely?

What window mastic looks like in Buckingham
With historic houses such as Stowe House (about 2.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Buckingham as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as George Grenville Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames for a typical job. A visit in Buckingham needs access to the work and a place to park close by. If the job is outside, mention gates, side access and anything above ground floor.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
Landlords, agents and businesses in Buckingham
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Letting agents and landlords in Buckingham can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
