The process
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Moss End, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Look round the frames every year or so
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What happens if it’s left?
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a small place like Moss End, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What window mastic looks like in Moss End
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as St Leonard's Hill (about 4.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Moss End as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Garth Hill College are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael and All Angels, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Surface by surface
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
