Window mastic in Tackley, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on uPVC windows, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the sill meets the wall and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
Around Tackley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
What happens if it’s left?
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’s needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tackley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.

Tackley: your questions answered
Is Tackley in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Tackley is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Tackley station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we will ask.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How long will my window job take?
A few frames take a few hours. You will get a timescale with the quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Silicone is not paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Tell us if you are decorating and we’ll choose accordingly.
What window mastic looks like in Tackley
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. With historic houses such as Blenheim Palace (about 3.8 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tackley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Tackley station? Then 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. Managing a site like Tackley Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
