Window Mastic in Shellingford
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Shellingford. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
Window mastic in Shellingford
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Shellingford is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Your questions about window mastic in Shellingford
Will you come out to Shellingford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is window mastic in Shellingford guaranteed?
All our work, in Shellingford and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
How long will my window job take?
Allow a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Will resealing my frames help with 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.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before any work starts, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When to call us in Shellingford
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Managing a site like Shellingford Church of England (Voluntary Aided) School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What your quote should include
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shellingford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why book with us

Frames and glazing around Shellingford
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Faith include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a village or hamlet like Shellingford, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What we can’t put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Composite doors
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors

Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as that’s a job for a joiner.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
