We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
How we handle window mastic in Little Ickford
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before we start. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the number of frames and any access details. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and the jobs we see most are mastic that has split away from the wall and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Somewhere as small as Little Ickford, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
When to call us in Little Ickford
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Nicholas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- What product goes in the joint
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- Whether you can choose the colour
How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can carry on as normal. The job generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Little Ickford, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Little Ickford homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Boarstall Tower (about 4.8 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Ickford as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames normally suit brown.
Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
