Window mastic in Burroughs Grove
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Homes in small places like Burroughs Grove often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

What window mastic looks like in Burroughs Grove
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Harleyford Manor (about 3.3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Burroughs Grove 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.
Schools such as Burford School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common problems we fix in Burroughs Grove
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Rented homes near Marlow station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Silicone can’t usually be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
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.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames in most cases. For a village or hamlet like Burroughs Grove, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- 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.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We will point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.

Will it make a mess?

Why act early in Burroughs Grove
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Burroughs Grove can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Tidy, careful work
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Arbo and Everbuild products
