Goring Window Mastic
Our applicators work in Goring on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Common problems we fix in Goring
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Goring Church of England Aided Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Window mastic in Goring, done properly
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. Typical jobs include cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and draughts coming in around windows and doors, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and composite doors.
Around Goring, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a job in Goring, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- 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
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
FAQs for Goring
Is Goring within the area you cover?

How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you guarantee window mastic?

Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before work begins.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What window mastic looks like in Goring
With historic houses such as Basildon Park (about 1.8 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Goring as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas of Canterbury, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you let a flat or house near Goring & Streatley station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Goring, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
