How we handle window mastic in Lower Padworth
Frames and walls do not move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on composite doors, uPVC windows and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and mastic that has split away from the wall.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Lower Padworth is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Lower Padworth as everywhere else we work.

What we are called out for in Lower Padworth
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.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
Letting a property close to Aldermaston station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

Do you cover smaller places like Lower Padworth?

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.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes. Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, and we’re fully insured.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before any work starts.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.
