Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What window mastic looks like in East Hagbourne
Historic houses like Brightwell Manor (about 3.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around East Hagbourne has older buildings as well as new. 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Didcot Parkway station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Managing a site like Hagbourne Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How we quote for window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- The number of rooms or windows
- How easy the joints are to reach
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Try to tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it has been sealed before
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In a small place like East Hagbourne, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Tidy, careful work
