How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
About our window mastic in Great Shoddesden
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We’re fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and we give a one-year guarantee on the work. We work on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are cold air getting in at the frame edge and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Somewhere as small as Great Shoddesden, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we have gone.

Window mastic in Great Shoddesden: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Grateley station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
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.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Shoddesden
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What we are called out for in Great Shoddesden
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.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Schools such as Ludgershall Castle Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Condensation trapped between the panes
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Advice
What happens if it’s left?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Great Shoddesden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Questions from Great Shoddesden
I let a flat near Grateley station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Great Shoddesden in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Great Shoddesden is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
Is there any odour?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
