Curridge: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Curridge?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
How we handle window mastic in Curridge
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have cracked sealant at the sill ends and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Curridge, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Curridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.

What affects the cost of window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- How many areas need sealing
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Whether it’s a home or a business
We do not publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
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 happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Around Curridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Window mastic in Curridge: 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 Shaw House (about 2.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Curridge has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you let a flat or house near Newbury Racecourse station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Schools such as Curridge Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Holy Trinity include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.
