FAQs for Home Farm
Should the sealant in an older Home Farm home be renewed?
Often, yes: cracked, shrunken or mouldy sealant has done its job. The key is cutting all the old sealant out, as new sealant won’t bond to it.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Home Farm
Homes in Home Farm have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on aluminium frames, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and rushed sealant from a window installation.
Around Home Farm, 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.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Home Farm needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
Common problems we fix in Home Farm
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.

- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows

Windows and doors in Home Farm
Home Farm 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. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Wooden Hill Primary and Nursery School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Wipe condensation off the frames
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
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.

Surface by surface
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
