Window mastic in The Warren
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. We work on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are white mastic on grey or black frames and mastic that has split away from the wall.
Houses in smaller places like The Warren can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Your questions about window mastic in The Warren
Do older homes in The Warren need their sealant replacing?
If it hasn’t been replaced for some years, it’s usually worth it. Sealant does not last for ever, and its life depends on use, cleaning and weather, and many homes in The Warren may already be on their second or third set.
Will you come out to The Warren?
Yes, The Warren is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we’re done.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before we start.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How much does window mastic cost in The Warren?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, in most cases. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
What affects the cost of window mastic
We don’t publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The type of sealant required
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- What’s wrong with the joints now
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we’ll talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It won’t solve:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills
Do you need window mastic in The Warren?
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- White mastic on grey or black frames
Homes close to St Paul include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the colour is chosen
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- What happens if the job turns out different
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. For a job in The Warren, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Advice
The Warren homes and the weather
The Warren is part of Bracknell, one of the post-war new towns. Many homes date from the post-war decades, and many will have had their original windows replaced. The mastic around replacement frames ages too, and gaps at sills and frame heads are where water gets in. 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.
Schools such as Harmans Water Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Martins Heron station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Leave it or put it right?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Homes in smaller places like The Warren can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
