What we’re called out for in Sulham
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Black, perished sealant on frames
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Denefield School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Sulham
Whether it’s one leaking patio door or every frame on the house, you will get a clear quote before we start. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us how many frames there are and how they’re reached. We work on uPVC windows, composite doors and window sills, and people most often call us about damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
In a village or hamlet like Sulham, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal, and acetoxy silicones aren’t used, as they can attack some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.

Leave it or put it right?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Sulham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

You will get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number of rooms or windows
- Any working-time requirements on site

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.

To help us quote quickly, let us know:

Sulham homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Mapledurham House (about 2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sulham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Pangbourne station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What we do, step by step
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere like Sulham needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
