About our window mastic in Wootton
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on composite doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about hard, cracked sealant around windows and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
In a village or hamlet like Wootton, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Leave it or put it right?
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In a small place like Wootton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early, and if anything looks wrong, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.

What else we do in Wootton
What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames

- Window sills
- Composite doors
When to call us in Wootton
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Can I do it myself?
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.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, 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.
FAQs for Wootton

Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

What the job involves on each surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
How it works
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house from start to finish. For a village or hamlet like Wootton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Windows and doors in Wootton
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 2.5 miles south) 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.
For landlords with property near Tackley station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wootton-By-Woodstock Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
