How we handle window mastic in New Yatt
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached for window mastic in New Yatt. We work on composite doors, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Homes in small places like New Yatt often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

New Yatt homes and the weather
Historic houses like Minster Lovell Hall (about 3.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around New Yatt 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. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Finstock station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Landlord and commercial work in New Yatt
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in New Yatt and across Oxfordshire. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Somewhere as small as New Yatt, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Questions from New Yatt
Will you come out to New Yatt?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is New Yatt in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and New Yatt is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can quote for several properties at once.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We do one or both.
How long should I leave it?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
How many windows can you do in a day?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You will know the timing when we quote.

What else we do in New Yatt
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it.
Common problems we fix in New Yatt
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Managing a site like North Leigh Church of England (Controlled) School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
