Surface by 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.
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it, where a rigid one would crack.
About our window mastic in Radley Green
Colour matters on a frame. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you have untidy mastic left by window fitters and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Radley Green, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Radley Green and everywhere else we cover.

Frames and glazing around Radley Green
Historic houses like Hylands (about 3.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Radley Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Ingatestone station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. In a small place like Radley Green, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.

Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we’re fully insured.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.

On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.

Signs you need window mastic in Radley Green
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That’s what backing rod is for.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
Hylands, about 3.9 miles east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Radley Green.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- How long the guarantee is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
