Work for landlords, hotels and businesses

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We’ve worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
About our window mastic in Wheatley
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are gaps between the frame and the inside reveal and a bead that doesn’t match the frame.
In smaller places like Wheatley, 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 covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so a flexible sealant is essential. We seal onto sound, dry paintwork or timber.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. In an older home around Wheatley, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house in most cases. A visit to Wheatley is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Wheatley homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much 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 Garsington Manor (about 2.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wheatley 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 is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Signs you need window mastic in Wheatley
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wheatley Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
