Window mastic for homes and businesses in Hollington
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you have untidy mastic left by window fitters and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hollington is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Hollington homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Stargroves (about 0.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Hollington has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of St Thomas include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as St Thomas' Church of England Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Signs you need window mastic in Hollington
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
For landlords with property near Kintbury station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Hollington, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:

- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first

Do you have insurance?

Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Hollington?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is generally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
