Windows and doors in Gibraltar
With historic houses such as Waddesdon Manor (about 3.8 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Gibraltar as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
For landlords with property near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

About our window mastic in Gibraltar
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. If you have cold air getting in at the frame edge and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Gibraltar, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
When to call us in Gibraltar
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
In the older streets around Church of Saints Peter and Paul, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What affects the cost of window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
What sealant work can’t fix
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Gibraltar needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any water getting in
How to get a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that is easy.

Questions from Gibraltar
I let a flat near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Gibraltar?
Yes, Gibraltar is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in Gibraltar
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Older cottages and farmhouses around Gibraltar can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why book with us
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- A choice of colours where the product allows
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
