How we handle window mastic in Penwood
Mr Mastic’s applicators have more than 20 years’ experience with window and door sealants. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. If you’re dealing with leaking joints at the ends of sills and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can put it right, on window sills, aluminium frames and uPVC windows alike.
Around Penwood, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Fitters’ mastic on plastic frames is sometimes thin and rushed. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We will tell you which suits your home.
Frames and glazing around Penwood
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Highclere Castle (about 1.7 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Penwood as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Newbury station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Managing a site like Woolton Hill Junior School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What we are called out for in Penwood
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Michael Archangel, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Questions from Penwood
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Newbury station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is Penwood in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Penwood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Penwood.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
In many cases. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Condensation trapped between the panes
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlord and commercial work in Penwood

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. Somewhere as small as Penwood, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any tricky access
