Do you need window mastic in Thrupp?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, until it loses its stretch and starts to crack.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Holy Cross, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether VAT is included
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Do not paint over the silicone
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford Parkway station?

Can you do window mastic in Thrupp?
Yes, Thrupp is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What information do you need?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How long will my window job take?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, for 12 months. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Landlord and commercial work in Thrupp
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In a small place like Thrupp, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Windows and doors in Thrupp
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 2.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Thrupp 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’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Oxford Parkway station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you look after a building such as The Marlborough Church of England School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it without cracking.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
