About our window mastic in Deddington
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We are often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and white mastic on grey or black frames, across composite doors, patio & French doors and aluminium frames.
Homes in small places like Deddington often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Common questions in Deddington
Do you cover Deddington for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Deddington is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Deddington?
Yes. Deddington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before work begins, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Tell us what needs doing and where. If we need more, we will ask.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. In a small place like Deddington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Deddington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive

Frames and glazing around Deddington
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. With historic houses such as Broughton Castle (about 5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Deddington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For landlords with property near Kings Sutton station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What affects the quote in Deddington
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- The number of rooms or windows
- The number and length of the joints
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
What we’re called out for in Deddington
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Deddington Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Who turns up on the day
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How hidden problems are handled
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Composite doors

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
