Earlstone Common Window Mastic
Problem with your window and door frames in Earlstone Common? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Window mastic in Earlstone Common
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. If you’re dealing with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, we can help, on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and timber windows & doors alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Earlstone Common is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Leave it or put it right?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In a small place like Earlstone Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere like Earlstone Common needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Your questions about window mastic in Earlstone Common
Do you cover smaller places like Earlstone Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Newbury station?

What does window mastic cost?

Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
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.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You will know the timing when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Frames and glazing around Earlstone Common
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Highclere Castle (about 2.6 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Earlstone Common 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 an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Ascension, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you look after a building such as The Clere School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
