About our window mastic in Marsh Gibbon
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you’re dealing with cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and old mastic that has gone black or come away, we can help.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Marsh Gibbon is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

When to call us in Marsh Gibbon
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How long the guarantee is
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Marsh Gibbon, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
What affects the cost of window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Window mastic in Marsh Gibbon: local notes
Historic houses like Claydon House (about 4.8 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Marsh Gibbon has older buildings as well as new. 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Bicester North station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Marsh Gibbon CofE Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
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.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
