Surface by surface

Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
About our window mastic in Woburn
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and people most often call us about whistling draughts around closed windows and untidy mastic left by window fitters.
Around Woburn, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Woburn and across Milton Keynes.

Quotes for window mastic in Woburn
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The type of sealant required
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Roughly how big the job is
Every job is quoted individually. Simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep timber frames painted
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. A new joint closes it up.

FAQs for Woburn
Do you work for landlords with property near Aspley Guise station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Woburn within the area you cover?
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.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s coming through the window seals, we’ll tell you.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Woburn homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Woburn Abbey (about 1.1 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Woburn as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Aspley Guise station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Old Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Signs you need window mastic in Woburn
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
If you look after a building such as Woburn Lower School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
