Common problems we fix in Padworth
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- White mastic on grey or black frames
Homes close to Church of St John the Baptist include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How we handle window mastic in Padworth
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We’re often asked to deal with untidy mastic left by window fitters and gaps where the sill meets the wall, across window sills, timber windows & doors and patio & French doors.
In a village or hamlet like Padworth, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Padworth
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic usually deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. Older cottages and farmhouses around Padworth can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.

- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas

Quotes for window mastic in Padworth
We do not publish a price list. The quote depends on:
- The number of rooms or windows
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
- The amount of work
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Padworth, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. We will point out any rot we find, as that is a job for a joiner.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain cannot run into the wall.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Padworth
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Padworth homes and the weather
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.
Letting a property close to Aldermaston station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you look after a building such as Sulhamstead and Ufton Nervet School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
