How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Danesfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any tricky access
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

Window mastic in Danesfield
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you have untidy mastic left by window fitters and cold air getting in at the frame edge, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Danesfield is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
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.
When to call us in Danesfield
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why deal with it now?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Danesfield, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why Danesfield clients choose us
- You choose the colour before work begins
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Colour picked to suit the job

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Window mastic in Danesfield: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Harleyford Manor (about 0.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Danesfield 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 is traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Danesfield School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Marlow station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. We will tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match keeps the clean look.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We will tell you if that’s what we find.
