Window mastic for homes and businesses in Farley Wood
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are cold air getting in at the frame edge and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.
In a smaller place like Farley Wood, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

What else we do in Farley Wood
What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Signs you need window mastic in Farley Wood
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Draughty joints inside around the window
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mark, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What window mastic looks like in Farley Wood
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Farley Wood is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start.
Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then 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 Meadow Vale Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. In an older home around Farley Wood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What you get with us

Farley Wood: your questions answered
Do older homes in Farley Wood need their sealant replacing?
Normally, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant will not bond to it.
Is Farley Wood within the area you cover?
Yes. Farley Wood is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
How many windows can you do in a day?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We will tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
What happens on the day
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames for a typical job. A visit to Farley Wood is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
