About our window mastic in Stanford in the Vale
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. Typical jobs include black, perished sealant on frames and gaps left after new windows were fitted, across window sills, timber windows & doors and composite doors.
In a smaller place like Stanford in the Vale, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stanford in the Vale and across Oxfordshire.

Questions from Stanford in the Vale
Is window mastic in Stanford in the Vale guaranteed?
All our work, in Stanford in the Vale and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do window mastic in Stanford in the Vale?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Stanford in the Vale is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Why act early in Stanford in the Vale
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we will say so. In a smaller place like Stanford in the Vale, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

For landlords and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
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.
Do you need window mastic in Stanford in the Vale?
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Schools such as Stanford in the Vale Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the job changes 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.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. A visit to Stanford in the Vale is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit

Stanford in the Vale homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Longworth House (about 4.7 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Stanford in the Vale 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Denys, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
