Window mastic in Wootton
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We are often asked to deal with mastic that has split away from the wall and cracked sealant at the sill ends, across uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Wootton is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Frames and glazing around Wootton
Historic houses like Acrise Place (about 3.3 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Wootton 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. 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.
In the older streets around Church of St Martin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:

- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Wootton
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Do you need window mastic in Wootton?
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Mastic that’s falling out in pieces
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
If you let a flat or house near Shepherds Well station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

Yes. Wootton is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. If you plan to paint, tell us first and we can use a paintable sealant where it suits the joint.
