Window & door mastic in Tingewick, Buckinghamshire
Our applicators work in Tingewick on mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
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 call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
Window mastic in Tingewick, done properly
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. Common call-outs are for rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and white mastic on grey or black frames, on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and composite doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Tingewick is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What affects the quote in Tingewick
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- When we can work, for business premises
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The amount of work
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- What’s wrong with the joints now
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job and send pictures if you have them.
What we are called out for in Tingewick
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Look out for any of the following:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Royal Latin School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
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.
Questions from Tingewick
Is window mastic in Tingewick guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Tingewick in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tingewick is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before any work starts.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
How long will my window job take?
Allow a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What window mastic looks like in Tingewick
Historic houses like Stowe House (about 3.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Tingewick 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Mary Magdalen include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins.

- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
