- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.

How we handle window mastic in Speen
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We’re often asked to deal with mastic that’s falling out in pieces and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, across patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and composite doors.
Somewhere as small as Speen, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee in Speen and across West Berkshire.

Window mastic in Speen: local notes
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. Historic houses like Benham Park (about 0.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Speen has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Robert Sandilands Primary School and Nursery, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Newbury station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. Homes close to Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

What affects the quote in Speen
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
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. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs

Why act early in Speen
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. In a small place like Speen, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Silicone cannot usually 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.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.

What else we do in Speen
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.

How it works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a village or hamlet like Speen, 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.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access
