Window mastic near Loosley Row

What happens on the day

All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Loosley Row, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
  2. The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
  3. Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
  4. The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
  5. We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking restrictions
  • Mention if the joints have been sealed before
  • Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

How we handle window mastic in Loosley Row

If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Common call-outs are for a bead that doesn’t match the frame and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and uPVC windows.

In a village or hamlet like Loosley Row, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What window mastic looks like in Loosley Row

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. With historic houses such as West Wycombe Park House (about 3.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Loosley Row as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.

If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Evangelist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Saunderton station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Managing a site like St John's Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

Landlord and commercial work in Loosley Row

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.

For anyone letting property in or around Loosley Row, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.

Keeping the joints in good condition

So the new joints stay in good condition:

  • Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
  • Repaint timber before it’s bare
  • Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
  • Don’t paint over the silicone

Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.

Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

Surface by surface

Patio & French doors

Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.

Window sills

The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.

Why it’s worth doing now in Loosley Row

The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Older cottages and farmhouses around Loosley Row can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
