How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Wickham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Advice
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Wickham
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. If you have draughts coming in around windows and doors and white mastic on grey or black frames, we can help, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like Wickham often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Windows and doors in Wickham
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Benham Park (about 3.7 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Wickham has older buildings as well as new. 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.
Rented homes near Kintbury 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. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Welford and Wickham C.E. Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Swithin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Wickham is about 6 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Jobs in Wickham get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. 155 places in West Berkshire are on our list, large and small. Reading is on our list too, around 20 miles away.
We cover every part of RG20 for window mastic and the streets around it. Whether your property is on Welford Road, Baydon Road and Mant Close or anywhere close by, we can help.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We will tell you which suits your home.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. We pay most attention there.
Should I try it myself first?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Landlord and commercial work in Wickham
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Wickham and across West Berkshire. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Broken hinges, locks or handles

What affects the quote in Wickham
There’s no set price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- The number and length of the joints
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

- Any previous sealing or DIY work

Wickham questions
Do you cover Wickham for window mastic?
Yes, Wickham is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Wickham?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will tell you what we are using.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long will my window job take?
A handful of frames is a short visit. You will get a timescale with the quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
