Window mastic in Ickford
Homes in Ickford have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are draughty joints inside around the window and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Ickford is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
How we quote for window mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether the work is at height
Combining jobs into one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Questions from Ickford
Is Ickford in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Ickford 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, and we will give you a clear quote.
Is window mastic in Ickford guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A handful of frames is a short visit. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Common problems we fix in Ickford
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
In the older streets around Parish Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What happens if it’s left?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: the visit takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Around Ickford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- We agree the colour with you first
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- A 12-month guarantee on all work

Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What window mastic looks like in Ickford
Historic houses like Boarstall Tower (about 4.5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Ickford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ickford School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
