Window Mastic in Tongham

- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
Tongham homes and the weather
With historic houses such as Wanborough Manor (about 3.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tongham as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Ash station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as St Paul's CofE Infant School & Nursery, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Tongham
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. Typical jobs include whistling draughts around closed windows and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, across composite doors, window sills and timber windows & doors.
In smaller places like Tongham, homes range from older cottages to newer houses, with windows to match: timber, uPVC and aluminium. Each frame material needs the right sealant against the right wall.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. Parking around Tongham is normally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped

Tongham questions
Can you do window mastic in Tongham?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tongham is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Tongham within the area you cover?
Yes, Tongham is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes, for 12 months. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do I need to be at home?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before we start.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
How we quote for window mastic
You will get a clear quote before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Tongham and across Surrey. We can quote a run of properties together.
Do you need window mastic in Tongham?
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Paul, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- What preparation is included
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether VAT is included
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
What happens if it’s left?
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. In an older home around Tongham, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Do not paint over the silicone
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
