About our window mastic in Thakeham
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. If you have rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and cold air getting in at the frame edge, we can help.
Around Thakeham, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why act early in Thakeham
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. In a small place like Thakeham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
Frames and glazing around Thakeham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Parham House (about 3.6 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Thakeham has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Rydon Community College? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Homes close to The Parish Church of St Mary include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Leaks usually show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Thakeham 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.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.

- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
