Window mastic in Priestwood
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you are dealing with untidy mastic left by window fitters and draughts coming in around windows and doors, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a smaller place like Priestwood, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Priestwood and across Bracknell Forest.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Priestwood and across Bracknell Forest. Several sites can be quoted together, and we are fully insured for the work.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Parking around Priestwood is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
How to get a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand.

Questions from Priestwood
Do you cover smaller places like Priestwood?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it worth replacing old sealant in an older home in Priestwood?
Generally, yes, if it’s cracked, shrunk, mouldy or coming away. New sealant will not stick to old, so the old bead has to come out completely first.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Most silicone can’t be painted. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, with our one-year guarantee. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Where are you based?
We are a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
Window sills
Where a sill meets brick or render, the ends often crack first. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Silicone can’t usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

Priestwood homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Priestwood is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start.
Schools such as Meadow Vale Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Bracknell station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you live in an older home near St Andrew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In a smaller place like Priestwood, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
