DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
About our window mastic in Risinghurst
Around Risinghurst we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you have cracked sealant at the sill ends and mastic that has split away from the wall, we can help, whatever the surface.
In smaller places like Risinghurst, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How we quote for window mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Any mould that needs treating
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The rough size of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In a smaller place like Risinghurst, 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.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Common problems we fix in Risinghurst
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
Rented homes near Oxford station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Before booking anyone
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a smaller place like Risinghurst, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Window mastic in Risinghurst: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Holywell Manor (about 2.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Risinghurst 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’s traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St Mary, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bayards Hill School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
