Leave it or put it right?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Around Iffley, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Window mastic in Iffley, done properly
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Typical jobs include cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and gaps where the sill meets the wall, on composite doors, uPVC windows and patio & French doors.
In a smaller place like Iffley, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
How the job changes by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf usually come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We will tell you if that’s what we find.
Common questions in Iffley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Oxford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Iffley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote and we’ll plan for it.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.

- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Iffley homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Holywell Manor (about 2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Iffley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Rose Hill Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St James, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

When to call us in Iffley
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
