How we handle window mastic in Temple
The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. If you are dealing with a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Temple, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Temple: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Temple?
Yes. Temple is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
I let a flat near Marlow station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Surface by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Temple, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Signs you need window mastic in Temple
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Schools such as Bisham Church of England Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long the guarantee is
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What preparation is included
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Why act early in Temple
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Temple, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first.

What window mastic looks like in Temple
Historic houses like Harleyford Manor (about 0.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Temple has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Marlow station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
