Window Mastic in Bodle Street Green
Problem with your window and door frames in Bodle Street Green? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, with a one-year guarantee.
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
Leave it or put it right?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bodle Street Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why us?
- Colour picked to suit the job
- 20+ years of sealant experience
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet

About our window mastic in Bodle Street Green
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We work on timber windows & doors, composite doors and window sills, and common reasons people get in touch are sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Around Bodle Street Green, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Bodle Street Green 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.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice
What window mastic looks like in Bodle Street Green
Historic houses like Horselunges Manor (about 4.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Bodle Street Green 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. 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.
Homes close to St John the Evangelist include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Common problems we fix in Bodle Street Green
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, and a gap filled solid cannot flex. That’s what backing rod is for.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
In and around Bodle Street Green, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so if you’re planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. Resealing closes it.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
