Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Ashlett questions
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Ashlett?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are usually the first to need attention.
Do you work for landlords with property near Hamble station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Normally, yes. We plan safe access before the job, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Not normally, if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we will pick a sealant to suit.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the joint suits the frame.
How much does window mastic cost in Ashlett?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Do you need window mastic in Ashlett?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

What window mastic looks like in Ashlett
Ashlett is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
For landlords with property near Hamble station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. Managing a site like Fawley Infant School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are from start to finish. Somewhere like Ashlett 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.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Related advice
Why act early in Ashlett
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Ashlett, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
