Window mastic for homes and businesses in Chilson
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Homes in small places like Chilson often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Chilson homes and the weather
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.
If you let a flat or house near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Why act early in Chilson
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chilson can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.

Your questions about window mastic in Chilson
Is Chilson within the area you cover?
Yes. Chilson is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Ascott-Under-Wychwood station. Can you help?

Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.

Can new window sealant be painted?

What sealant do you use?

Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
