Window mastic in St. Ebbes
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We work on composite doors, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames, and common reasons people get in touch are untidy mastic left by window fitters and cracked sealant at the sill ends.
Many houses in smaller places like St. Ebbes have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after we have gone.

Windows and doors in St. Ebbes
With historic houses such as Holywell Manor (about 0.7 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around St. Ebbes as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Oxford Media & Business School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Oxford station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around St Ebbe's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
St. Ebbes is about 1 mile west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Jobs in St. Ebbes get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 443 places across Oxfordshire.

Why deal with it now?
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Homes in smaller places like St. Ebbes can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The amount of work
- Access and height
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- How we’d reach the joints
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The address or postcode of the job
- What’s wrong with the joints now
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.
What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a job in St. Ebbes, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Advice
Surface by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that.

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What we cannot put right
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
