How we handle window mastic in Hanworth
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you are dealing with rushed sealant from a window installation and draughty joints inside around the window, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Hanworth, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Why act early in Hanworth
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In an older home around Hanworth, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Windows and doors in Hanworth
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Hanworth is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in.
If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like The Pines School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Hanworth can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Hanworth: your questions answered
Is Hanworth within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote so we can plan the job.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not usually, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Hanworth?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the joint suits the frame.
Common problems we fix in Hanworth
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Black, perished sealant on frames
In the older streets around St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- How long the guarantee is
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a smaller place like Hanworth, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
