Window mastic for homes and businesses in Inkpen Common
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Common call-outs are for water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and untidy mastic left by window fitters, on patio & French doors, composite doors and window sills.
Homes in small places like Inkpen Common often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a small place like Inkpen Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Inkpen Common, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Signs you need window mastic in Inkpen Common
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Letting a property close to Kintbury station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

What window mastic looks like in Inkpen Common
Historic houses like Stargroves (about 2.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Inkpen Common has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Inkpen Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Laurence, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
