How we handle window mastic in Letcombe Regis
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you have whistling draughts around closed windows and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Letcombe Regis, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need window mastic in Letcombe Regis
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
The problems people usually mention when they call include:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Managing a site like St Nicholas CofE Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Letcombe Regis homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Quotes for window mastic in Letcombe Regis
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- A few pictures by email, if you can
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Letcombe Regis, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Letcombe Regis, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why book with us
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- We are fully insured
- We never seal over old sealant
- A choice of colours where the product allows
Take a look at our cost guide or our reviews.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
