We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Window mastic in Winterbourne, done properly
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We work on composite doors, aluminium frames and window sills, and people most often call us about black, perished sealant on frames and gaps where the sill meets the wall.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Winterbourne is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep timber frames painted
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Questions from Winterbourne
Can you do window mastic in Winterbourne?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Winterbourne is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Winterbourne?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you hold any approvals?

Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Do you do commercial work?

Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.

Yes, with our one-year guarantee. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Signs you need window mastic in Winterbourne
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mary Hare School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What the cure time is
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether they’re fully insured

What window mastic looks like in Winterbourne
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 Shaw House (about 2.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Winterbourne as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Letting a property close to Newbury station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

What else we do in Winterbourne
What happens if it’s left?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Older cottages and farmhouses around Winterbourne can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Winterbourne, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as that’s a job for a joiner.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf generally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.
