Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain. We pay most attention there.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Nuffield
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Nuffield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

What window mastic looks like in Nuffield
Historic houses like Greys Court (about 4.2 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Nuffield has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts 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 Church of the Holy Trinity, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Around Nuffield, as everywhere, window mastic is only as good as the preparation behind it.

Do you cover smaller places like Nuffield?

Will it make a mess?

Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we will tell you.
How long will my window job take?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
How the visit works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, including the tidy-up. Somewhere as small as Nuffield, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
