Arreton questions

Do you guarantee window mastic?

Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we will confirm what’s needed.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
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.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Arreton
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. We work on composite doors, patio & French doors and uPVC windows, and people most often call us about untidy mastic left by window fitters and white mastic on grey or black frames.
Homes in small places like Arreton often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

What else we do in Arreton
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Arreton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Quotes for window mastic in Arreton
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The size of the job
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll talk you through the work and give you a clear quote.
Common problems we fix in Arreton
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- A bead that does not match the frame
Rented homes near Sandown station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Window mastic in Arreton: local notes
Historic houses like Arreton Manor (about 0.5 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Arreton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around St. George's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
Arreton is about 3 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Jobs in Arreton get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Arreton is one of 125 places in the Isle of Wight we cover for window mastic. We also work in Portsmouth, about 12 miles from Arreton.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Do not paint over the silicone
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant. We use a neutral-cure product.
uPVC windows
The frame is cleaned with a product that won’t harm the plastic, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Landlord and commercial work in Arreton
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Arreton and across the Isle of Wight. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Why it’s worth doing now in Arreton
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. A reseal is a much smaller job. In a small place like Arreton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
