About our window mastic in Clanfield
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on composite doors, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are old mastic that has gone black or come away and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Clanfield is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Frames and glazing around Clanfield
With historic houses such as Kelmscott Manor (about 2.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Clanfield 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Clanfield CofE 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 Stephen, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What else we do in Clanfield
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Your questions about window mastic in Clanfield
Do you cover smaller places like Clanfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Clanfield?
Yes, Clanfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.

Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you hold any approvals?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Clanfield, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. In a small place like Clanfield, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
