Window & door mastic in Prestwood, Buckinghamshire
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors in Prestwood, with a 12-month guarantee on every job. Call for a quick quote.
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Prestwood
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you’re dealing with gaps left after new windows were fitted and leaking joints at the ends of sills, we can help, whatever the surface.
Many houses in smaller places like Prestwood have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Prestwood as everywhere else we work.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour suits the frame.
Common problems we fix in Prestwood
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
Rented homes near Great Missenden station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Before you book anyone
- When the joint can take water or movement
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a smaller place like Prestwood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Yes, Prestwood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new sealant bonds properly.

Windows and doors in Prestwood
With historic houses such as Hughenden Manor (about 3.4 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Prestwood as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you look after a building such as Prestwood Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How it works

For a job in Prestwood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
