About our window mastic in Wilstone
There are two joints on most windows. 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’re often asked to deal with leaking joints at the ends of sills and whistling draughts around closed windows, on window sills, composite doors and uPVC windows.
Homes in small places like Wilstone often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What window mastic looks like in Wilstone
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. Historic houses like Cholesbury Manor House (about 4.6 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Wilstone has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Cheddington station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Schools such as Marsworth Church of England Infant School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Quotes for window mastic in Wilstone
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The type of sealant required
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- How we’d reach the joints
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- The problem you’ve noticed
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and describe the job.
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
For landlords and businesses
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.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Wilstone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

How it works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Wilstone, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll come back to you with a quote.

Common problems we fix in Wilstone
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
Homes close to St Cross include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Look out for the warning signs: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
Common questions in Wilstone
Is Wilstone within the area you cover?
Yes. Wilstone is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Cheddington station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally will not take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
