About our window mastic in Crowell
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We are often asked to deal with white mastic on grey or black frames and mastic that has split away from the wall, across timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors.
Homes in small places like Crowell 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.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Crowell and across Oxfordshire.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Crowell, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we are called out for in Crowell
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Rented homes near Princes Risborough station change hands often, and 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
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What happens if it’s left?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Crowell can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Crowell homes and the weather
Historic houses like Adwell House (about 2.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Crowell 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Mill Lane Community Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What affects the cost of window mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- A few pictures by email, if you can
We do not publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.

We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
