Window mastic in Middle Barton
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and common reasons people get in touch are whistling draughts around closed windows and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Middle Barton is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Window mastic in Middle Barton: local notes
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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Edward the Confessor, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like Middle Barton Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Heyford station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

When is the sealant fully cured?

Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep timber frames painted
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.

What else we do in Middle Barton
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant cannot bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. In a small place like Middle Barton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
