How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Frames and glazing around Knowl Hill
With historic houses such as Harleyford Manor (about 3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Knowl 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. 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.
If you live in an older home near Saint Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Wargrave station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Knowl Hill, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Signs you need window mastic in Knowl Hill
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Managing a site like Knowl Hill Church of England Primary Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether VAT is included
- How the colour is chosen
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.

What else we do in Knowl Hill
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
