DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Window mastic in Over Norton, done properly
Homes in Over Norton have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Typical jobs include whistling draughts around closed windows and untidy mastic left by window fitters, on composite doors, uPVC windows and window sills.
Homes in small places like Over Norton often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Signs you need window mastic in Over Norton
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The most common problems we see are:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Managing a site like Holy Trinity Catholic School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether you can choose the colour
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Over Norton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Over Norton questions
Is window mastic in Over Norton guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Over Norton within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Over Norton.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Over Norton?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We check where the draught is before work begins.
Why it’s worth doing now in Over Norton
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Over Norton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Windows and doors in Over Norton
Historic houses like Chastleton House (about 4.1 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Over Norton 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. London and the South East are among 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 St James, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Check the mastic once a year
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
