How we handle window mastic in Great Holcombe
There are two joints on most windows. 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. If you’re dealing with gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can help, on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and window sills alike.
Around Great Holcombe, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Why act early in Great Holcombe
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Holcombe can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Frames and glazing around Great Holcombe
Historic houses like Garsington Manor (about 3.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Great Holcombe has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Around Great Holcombe, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it. In the older streets around Church of St Giles, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf usually come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We will tell you which suits your home.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
