Window mastic in Tongwell, done properly
Homes in Tongwell have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Tongwell is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating. Expect the work to take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Tongwell, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Getting ready for the visit

Tongwell questions
Is Tongwell within the area you cover?
Yes, Tongwell is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Tongwell in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tongwell is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Usually, yes. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we’ll use the nearest match.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
What the job involves on each surface
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. The sealant must cope with it.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
What window mastic looks like in Tongwell
With historic houses such as Linford Manor (about 1.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tongwell as well as newer homes. 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Milton Keynes Central station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Common problems we fix in Tongwell
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That is what backing rod is for.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Managing a site like Willen Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
