About our window mastic in Founthill
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; 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 uPVC windows, window sills and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant at the sill ends and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Founthill is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Founthill
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Founthill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Founthill needs a little journey planning: 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.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Is Founthill within the area you cover?

How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
What does window mastic cost?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not generally, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Do you need window mastic in Founthill?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar never bonded as it should, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Schools such as Newick Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

When it is not the sealant

What we seal
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
