Window mastic in Frilford
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. Common call-outs are for old mastic that has gone black or come away and mastic that has split away from the wall, across window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors.
Somewhere as small as Frilford, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that is what we find.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door in most cases. Somewhere as small as Frilford, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Check the mastic once a year
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
Why it’s worth doing now in Frilford
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Frilford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- You choose the colour before work begins

Common problems we fix in Frilford
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Black, perished sealant on frames
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What window mastic looks like in Frilford
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. With historic houses such as Appleton Manor (about 2.6 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Frilford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Abingdon Preparatory School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
