How we handle window mastic in Horsleys Green
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on composite doors, patio & French doors and window sills, and people most often call us about cold air getting in at the frame edge and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Horsleys Green is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Windows and doors in Horsleys Green
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like West Wycombe Park House (about 2.7 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Horsleys Green 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Mary Towerton School At Studley Green, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. West Wycombe Park House, about 2.7 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Horsleys Green.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Horsleys Green
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Horsleys Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Horsleys Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
Common problems we fix in Horsleys Green
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Look out for any of the following:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Letting a property close to Saunderton station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Look round the frames every year or so
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Do you do commercial work?

Are you insured?

Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are ARBOMaster approved applicators.
