About our window mastic in Neithrop
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you are dealing with gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and leaking joints at the ends of sills, we can put it right.
In smaller places like Neithrop, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Window mastic in Neithrop: local notes
Historic houses like Broughton Castle (about 1.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Neithrop 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’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
For landlords with property near Banbury station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around St Paul's Church Centre, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself usually takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, depending on the amount of work. Parking around Neithrop is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Signs you need window mastic in Neithrop
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Look out for these signs:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Black, perished sealant on frames
If you look after a building such as St Joseph's Catholic Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Why it’s worth doing now in Neithrop
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In an older home around Neithrop, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.

Neithrop questions
Do you cover smaller places like Neithrop?
Yes, Neithrop is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is Neithrop in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Neithrop is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before we start.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we’ll quote it together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Window sills
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. Those corners get the most care.
