What happens if it’s left?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. In an older home around Watlington, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

About our window mastic in Watlington
Frames and walls do not move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on window sills, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are hard, cracked sealant around windows and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Homes around Watlington range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

When to call us in Watlington
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Black, perished sealant on frames
In the older streets around Church of St Leonard, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Signs to watch for: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Common questions in Watlington
Can you do window mastic in Watlington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Watlington is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Watlington?
All our work, in Watlington and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
What does window mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes, in most cases. Mention the frame colour when you ask for a quote and we will match it as closely as we can.
How long will my window job take?
The work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
Watlington homes and the weather
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. With historic houses such as Adwell House (about 3.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Watlington 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.
Managing a site like Watlington Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so they get particular care.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
What affects the quote in Watlington
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Access and height
- The amount of work
- The type of sealant required
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 we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The rough size of the job
Every job is quoted individually. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and photos are welcome.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a morning for a couple of windows and a door, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Watlington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
