How we handle window mastic in East Garston Woodlands
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
In a village or hamlet like East Garston Woodlands, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as East Garston Woodlands, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
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.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.

How long will my window job take?
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 you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.

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 call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
