Window mastic for homes and businesses in Wildridings
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That is why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on window sills, composite doors and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about cold air getting in at the frame edge and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Many houses in smaller places like Wildridings have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are and we leave things clean and tidy. For a job in Wildridings, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear the area around the work

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Questions from Wildridings
Is Wildridings within the area you cover?
Yes, Wildridings is covered. 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.
Do you work for landlords with property near Bracknell station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How long should I leave it?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you when we finish.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Wildridings?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What happens if it’s left?
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. In an older home around Wildridings, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Common problems we fix in Wildridings
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Letting a property close to Bracknell station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Frames and glazing around Wildridings
Bracknell, which Wildridings is part of, is one of England’s post-war new towns. With many homes from the post-war decades, replacement windows and doors are common. That mastic ages as well, and sills and frame heads are where leaks start. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Wildridings Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For an older house near a landmark such as St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
