Frames and glazing around Catslip
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Greys Court (about 2.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Catslip has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Church of St Bartholomew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Nettlebed Community School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Window mastic in Catslip
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about cold air getting in at the frame edge and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Catslip is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Catslip
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
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.
What we do, step by step
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames for a typical job. Somewhere like Catslip needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What happens if it’s left?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Catslip, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What we are called out for in Catslip
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. Backing rod sets the right depth.

- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- A bead that does not match the frame
