Window & door mastic in Ludgershall, Buckinghamshire
Window and door frames in Ludgershall need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- A bead that does not match the frame
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Ludgershall
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and whistling draughts around closed windows.
In a village or hamlet like Ludgershall, 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.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Buckinghamshire.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up

How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We’ll tell you if that is what we find.
What window mastic looks like in Ludgershall
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Boarstall Tower (about 3.1 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Ludgershall has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Do you need window mastic in Ludgershall?
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Around Ludgershall, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.
Before you book anyone

- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Why deal with it now?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ludgershall can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. In a small place like Ludgershall, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

What affects the quote in Ludgershall
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
