About our window mastic in Little Hungerford
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. 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. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and mastic that’s falling out in pieces.
Around Little Hungerford, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal

How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. White is the usual colour, with brown, anthracite grey and black for coloured frames.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Signs you need window mastic in Little Hungerford
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
If you look after a building such as Hermitage Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Frames and glazing around Little Hungerford
Historic houses like Shaw House (about 4.1 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Little Hungerford has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is 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 Bartholomew, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Rented homes near Newbury Racecourse station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Your questions about window mastic in Little Hungerford
Will you come out to Little Hungerford?
Yes. Little Hungerford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Little Hungerford?
Yes, Little Hungerford is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
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.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Leave it or put it right?
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Hungerford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, 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.
