Window mastic in Woodcote, done properly
Around Woodcote we seal all kinds of frames: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We are often asked to deal with hard, cracked sealant around windows and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster, on composite doors, aluminium frames and window sills.
London has a lot of flats and conversions, where windows are often on upper floors. Who looks after the outside of the frames can depend on the lease, so check that first.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Woodcote and across Greater London.

Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking an issue for window mastic in Woodcote?
Parking in Woodcote, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
How do I get a quote for window mastic in Woodcote?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
Do you come to Woodcote?
Yes. We cover Woodcote. To book, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint.

Windows and doors in Woodcote
Historic houses like Nonsuch Mansion (about 4.3 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Woodcote has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. In London conversions and blocks, the lease decides who is responsible for the frames, so it’s worth checking before booking.
Schools such as Woodcote High School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Woodcote is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
Surface by surface
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that will not harm the plastic, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
What we’re called out for in Woodcote
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
For an older house near a landmark such as St Swithun's, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How long to leave it before use
- What happens if the job turns out different
Why it’s worth doing now in Woodcote
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Woodcote, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that will not close properly
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. In Woodcote, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. Mention any building rules, key holders or managing agents when you book.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
