What happens if it’s left?

Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. Around Parslow's Hillock, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins.

What you get with us

  • Fully insured
  • A choice of colours where the product allows

  • Rushed sealant from a window installation
  • Black, perished sealant on frames
  • Mastic that has split away from the wall
  • Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill

Window mastic in Parslow's Hillock: local notes

Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Hughenden Manor (about 4.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Parslow's Hillock has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.

Schools such as Princes Risborough School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Princes Risborough station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

What happens on the day

We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Parslow's Hillock, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
  2. Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
  3. The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
  4. Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
  5. We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.

Related advice

Keeping the joints in good condition

Aftercare is simple:

  • Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
  • Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
  • Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
  • Look round the frames every year or so

Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.

Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.

How the job changes by surface

Aluminium frames

Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.

Window sills

Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
