Window & door mastic in Slough
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Slough. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. Those corners get the most care.
How we handle window mastic in Slough
Around Slough we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are draughty joints inside around the window and whistling draughts around closed windows.
In Slough, windows range from older timber frames to modern uPVC and aluminium. The mastic around all of them ages, and it’s usually the first thing to let the weather in.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
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 else we do in Slough
How we quote for window mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Mould in or behind the old joints
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Where the job is, and your postcode

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Commercial jobs in Slough can be planned out of hours where a building cannot close, and homes are booked within our usual hours, Monday to Saturday.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Slough homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Windsor Castle (about 2.1 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Slough as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Slough station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Herschel Grammar School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to St Michael and All Angels include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

What happens if it’s left?
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. Busy buildings in Slough, from hotels to offices, can’t afford rooms out of use for leaks or mould, so it pays to replace failing joints before they get that far.
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. You’ll know the price before we begin.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
