Window mastic in Jealott's Hill
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and composite doors, and people most often call us about black, perished sealant on frames and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Homes in small places like Jealott's Hill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A frame that has rotted at the joint

What window mastic looks like in Jealott's Hill
With historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill (about 4.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Jealott's Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Bracknell station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. In the older streets around Church of St Michael and All Angels, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Jealott's Hill, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.

Your questions about window mastic in Jealott's Hill
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bracknell station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover Jealott's Hill for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Jealott's Hill is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you need window mastic in Jealott's Hill?
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Schools such as Garth Hill College are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
