Window mastic in Thornborough, done properly
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we’ll tell you. Typical jobs include draughts coming in around windows and doors and untidy mastic left by window fitters, on composite doors, patio & French doors and window sills.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Thornborough is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Thornborough, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Move anything stored near the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Wipe condensation off the frames
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Surface by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Leave it or put it right?
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Thornborough, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Thornborough homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Stowe House (about 4.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Thornborough 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Thornborough Infant School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Your questions about window mastic in Thornborough
Do you cover smaller places like Thornborough?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is window mastic in Thornborough guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can tenants book the work?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can new window sealant be painted?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before work begins.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Normally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will use the nearest match.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
