Window mastic for homes and businesses in Lambourn
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. If you have cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and black, perished sealant on frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
In smaller places like Lambourn, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Your questions about window mastic in Lambourn
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Lambourn?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Lambourn in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lambourn is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work in homes, commercial premises and hotels.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages to suit the site.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
What we are called out for in Lambourn
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Look out for these signs:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Managing a site like Lambourn CofE Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether VAT is included
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Lambourn homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Ashdown House (about 3.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lambourn as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s 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.
Homes close to Church of St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Why act early in Lambourn
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, 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 an older home around Lambourn, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are for a typical job. A visit to Lambourn is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Silicone cannot generally be painted, so mention any painting plans before we start. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
