How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
About our window mastic in Lillingstone Lovell
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Common call-outs are for cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, across composite doors, patio & French doors and aluminium frames.
Somewhere as small as Lillingstone Lovell, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lillingstone Lovell, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Lillingstone Lovell
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Around Lillingstone Lovell, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Faulty window hardware
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal

At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the amount of work.

- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.

Advice
Window mastic in Lillingstone Lovell: local notes
With historic houses such as Stowe House (about 3 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lillingstone Lovell 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

Lillingstone Lovell questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Can tenants book the work?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.

Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
