How we handle window mastic in Stratton Audley
From a single sill to a whole house of windows, you will get a clear quote before work begins. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached.

In a village or hamlet like Stratton Audley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- uPVC windows
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Stratton Audley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where, and roughly how big it is. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Window mastic in Stratton Audley: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Bicester North station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Homes close to Church of St Mary and St Edburga include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Stratton Audley is about 3 miles north-east of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Wherever you are in the OX27 postcode area, we can carry out window mastic at your property. We cover 443 towns and villages across Oxfordshire, large and small. You can also see our page for Oxford, roughly 13 miles from Stratton Audley.

Why act early in Stratton Audley
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stratton Audley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Stratton Audley questions
Can you do window mastic in Stratton Audley?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Stratton Audley is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Stratton Audley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames normally suit brown.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
It depends on access, the old mastic and the size of the frames. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
