How we handle window mastic in Tutts Clump
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. We work on uPVC windows, window sills and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are whistling draughts around closed windows and white mastic on grey or black frames.
In a village or hamlet like Tutts Clump, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
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.
Why act early in Tutts Clump
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. A professional job is cut out properly, backed where needed and finished neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a small place like Tutts Clump, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

What window mastic looks like in Tutts Clump
Historic houses like Basildon Park (about 4.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Tutts Clump has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
If you live in an older home near St Peter's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bradfield C.E. Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Aldermaston station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Door frames take knocks and movement every time the doors are used. The sealant must cope with it.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
