Window & door mastic in Puttenham, Surrey
Problem with your window and door frames in Puttenham? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame

- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We’ll tell you which suits your home.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Puttenham
Frames and walls do not move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on aluminium frames, window sills and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are draughty joints inside around the window and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Puttenham is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.
The process
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Puttenham, 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, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Window mastic in Puttenham: local notes
Historic houses like Wanborough Manor (about 0.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Puttenham 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 is traditional sand mastic. 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.
Rented homes near Wanborough 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 Church of St John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

How do I get a quote for window mastic in Puttenham?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
How long before the joint can be used?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames normally suit brown.

Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we are using and why.
Why act early in Puttenham
Once mastic fails, rain can get between the frame and the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. A reseal is a much smaller job. Older cottages and farmhouses around Puttenham can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
