What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
About our window mastic in Cholsey
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on aluminium frames, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and draughty joints inside around the window.
Around Cholsey, 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Window mastic in Cholsey: local notes
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 Brightwell Manor (about 2.9 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Cholsey 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Cholsey Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Cholsey station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Why it’s worth doing now in Cholsey
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In an older home around Cholsey, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job. For a job in Cholsey, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Landlord and commercial work in Cholsey
If you manage several properties in or around Cholsey, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
When it isn’t the sealant
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Condensation trapped between the panes
