Window mastic in Osney
Around Osney we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows, and the jobs we see most are black, perished sealant on frames and rushed sealant from a window installation.
In smaller places like Osney, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Osney
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Around Osney, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Osney homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Holywell Manor (about 1.2 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Osney 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like West Oxford Community Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around St Frideswide's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it without cracking.
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
FAQs for Osney
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Osney?
Yes. Osney is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a smaller place like Osney, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. 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.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
