Window mastic for homes and businesses in Easthampstead
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. Typical jobs include hard, cracked sealant around windows and whistling draughts around closed windows, across aluminium frames, composite doors and uPVC windows.
In smaller places like Easthampstead, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are from start to finish. In a smaller place like Easthampstead, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Places near Easthampstead
What else we do in Easthampstead
Signs you need window mastic in Easthampstead
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Questions to ask before you book
- What the cure time is
- How the colour is chosen
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
What affects the cost of window mastic
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- Where the job is, and your postcode
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
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.
Why act early in Easthampstead
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In a smaller place like Easthampstead, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Frames and glazing around Easthampstead
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. Bracknell, which Easthampstead is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in.
Managing a site like Fox Hill Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
