Shutford Window Mastic
Our applicators work in Shutford on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Window mastic in Shutford, done properly
The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Typical jobs include draughty joints inside around the window and mastic that has split away from the wall, on timber windows & doors, uPVC windows and aluminium frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Shutford is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Your questions about window mastic in Shutford
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Banbury station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Shutford?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Landlord and commercial work in Shutford
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
What we’re called out for in Shutford
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That is what backing rod is for.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Homes close to Church of St Martin include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

What window mastic looks like in Shutford
With historic houses such as Broughton Castle (about 2.4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shutford as well as newer homes. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Banbury station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Faulty window hardware
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Window sills

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Shutford, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shutford
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Around Shutford, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
