Windows and doors in Forest Hill
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. Historic houses like Garsington Manor (about 3.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Forest Hill 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Window mastic in Forest Hill
Around Forest Hill we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Forest Hill is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a village or hamlet like Forest Hill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
When to call us in Forest Hill
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Look out for these signs:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Schools such as Sandhills Community Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Look round the frames every year or so
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
