About our window mastic in Skinners Green
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, the work is priced before anything is done. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the number of frames and any access details. Common call-outs are for cold air getting in at the frame edge and gaps left after new windows were fitted, across aluminium frames, window sills and patio & French doors.
Somewhere as small as Skinners Green, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Skinners Green as everywhere else we work.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. In a small place like Skinners Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Questions from Skinners Green
Do you cover smaller places like Skinners Green?
Yes. Skinners Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
I let a flat near Newbury station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
It depends on the sealant. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before work begins.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What does window mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
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.
Why act early in Skinners Green
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Older cottages and farmhouses around Skinners Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting

Frames and glazing around Skinners Green
Historic houses like Benham Park (about 1.4 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Skinners 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. 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.
Schools such as John Rankin Infant and Nursery School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around Parish Church of St Michael, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
