Why act early in West Wellow
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Wellow, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Sand mastic in West Wellow
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. We’re often asked to deal with mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, on timber door frames, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Around West Wellow, 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.

Frames and glazing around West Wellow
London and the South East are among 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 Landford Manor (about 2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around West Wellow as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Margaret, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Romsey station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Common problems we fix in West Wellow
Rain on the window surround works into any crack and loosens it further. Exposed elevations generally fail first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
Managing a site like Wellow School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Can I add another job to the visit?

How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear and the mastic can crack early. We rake it out and renew it.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we will confirm what’s needed.
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
