Lower Earley Window Mastic
Problem with your window and door frames in Lower Earley? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Check the mastic once a year
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Window mastic in Lower Earley
Around Lower Earley we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with 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 uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
In smaller places like Lower Earley, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee.

Lower Earley homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Trinity Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as Radstock Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Earley station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Lower Earley questions
Do you cover Lower Earley for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Lower Earley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Earley?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we will tell you what access is needed.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. Those corners get the most care.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
For landlords and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
How it works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a job in Lower Earley, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What affects the cost of window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
