About our window mastic in Sandleford
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are whistling draughts around closed windows and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill.
Homes in small places like Sandleford often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Berkshire.

Why it’s worth doing now in Sandleford
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Sandleford can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How do I get a quote for window mastic in Sandleford?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You will get a clear quote before we start.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it generally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a village or hamlet like Sandleford, 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.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
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.

What else we do in Sandleford
Window mastic in Sandleford: local notes
With historic houses such as Shaw House (about 2.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sandleford as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Willows Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as St Gabriel's School, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
