What window mastic looks like in Nuneham Courtenay
With historic houses such as Clifton Hampden Manor (about 2.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Nuneham Courtenay as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Radley station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Nuneham Courtenay
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. Common call-outs are for cold air getting in at the frame edge and gaps where the sill meets the wall, across patio & French doors, composite doors and uPVC windows.
Around Nuneham Courtenay, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. Around Nuneham Courtenay, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

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.
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.
Common problems we fix in Nuneham Courtenay
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Schools such as Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
