Window mastic in Draycott
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you’ll get a clear quote before work begins. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in Draycott. Typical jobs include leaking joints at the ends of sills and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, across aluminium frames, composite doors and timber windows & doors.
Somewhere as small as Draycott, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why act early in Draycott
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Draycott, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Common questions in Draycott
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Draycott?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Will you come out to Draycott?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan for it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
What affects the quote in Draycott
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
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:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Draycott needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. Those corners get the most care.
What window mastic looks like in Draycott
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Garsington Manor (about 4.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Draycott has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St Helen, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ickford School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
