Window mastic for homes and businesses in Little Tew
Homes in Little Tew have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and composite doors, and people most often call us about leaking joints at the ends of sills and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Homes in small places like Little Tew often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
When it is not the sealant
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Faulty window hardware
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the quote in Little Tew
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The product the joint needs
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- Where the property is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll send you a clear quote before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
What we are called out for in Little Tew
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Managing a site like Great Tew County Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Little Tew questions
Is Little Tew in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Little Tew is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Little Tew within the area you cover?
Yes. Little Tew 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 the inside joint as well?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Little Tew, along with the rest of our area.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels across Oxfordshire.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Little Tew, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in

What window mastic looks like in Little Tew
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St John the Evangelist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
