Window mastic in Cutteslowe
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, 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 patio & French doors, uPVC windows and window sills, and people most often call us about gaps where the sill meets the wall and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
In smaller places like Cutteslowe, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Windows and doors in Cutteslowe
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Holywell Manor (about 2.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Cutteslowe 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.
Schools such as Cutteslowe Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near Roman Catholic Church of St Gregory and St Augustine, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What else we do in Cutteslowe
Why deal with it now?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In a smaller place like Cutteslowe, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

What affects the quote in Cutteslowe
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The product the joint needs
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
Helping us quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Every job is quoted individually. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job and send photos if you have them.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Common problems we fix in Cutteslowe
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
For landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. A flexible sealant copes with that.
The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Cutteslowe, 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.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
