What happens if it’s left?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Homes in smaller places like Caversham Park Village can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

Around Caversham Park Village, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.

When to call us in Caversham Park Village
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. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Letting a property close to Reading station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- How long the guarantee is
- How long to leave it before use

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that’s a job for a joiner.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house in most cases. In a smaller place like Caversham Park Village, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, 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
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What window mastic looks like in Caversham Park Village
Historic houses like Mapledurham House (about 3.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Caversham Park Village 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 is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Caversham Park Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: 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.
