About our window mastic in Swinbrook
Homes in Swinbrook have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We’re often asked to deal with rushed sealant from a window installation and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door, on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and window sills.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Swinbrook is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.

What window mastic looks like in Swinbrook
With historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (about 2.9 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Swinbrook 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. If you let a flat or house near Shipton station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Questions from Swinbrook
Can you do window mastic in Swinbrook?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Swinbrook is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you cover smaller places like Swinbrook?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Usually, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will use the nearest match.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Swinbrook, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
Ask for a quote

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
What we are called out for in Swinbrook
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
The problems people generally mention when they call are:
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Managing a site like Burford School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
Why deal with it now?
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Swinbrook, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What sealant work can’t fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
