Window & door mastic in Blackhill, Hampshire
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Blackhill and across Hampshire. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a 12-month guarantee.
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Blackhill
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. We work on timber windows & doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and mastic that has split away from the wall.
In a village or hamlet like Blackhill, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Signs you need window mastic in Blackhill
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A thin smear across a wide gap has nothing to it, and a gap filled solid can’t flex. That’s what backing rod is for.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
If you let a flat or house near Romsey station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Blackhill
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Older cottages and farmhouses around Blackhill can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- We agree the colour with you first
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
