Window mastic in Bouldnor, done properly
Frames and walls don’t move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. If you are dealing with gaps where the sill meets the wall and cold air getting in at the frame edge, we can help, on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and window sills alike.
Around Bouldnor, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why act early in Bouldnor
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. In a small place like Bouldnor, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

Signs you need window mastic in Bouldnor
Every frame moves through the day. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
Managing a site like Yarmouth Church of England Aided Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
Common questions in Bouldnor
Does the coastal weather in Bouldnor affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Do you cover smaller places like Bouldnor?
Yes. Bouldnor is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Bouldnor and the rest of the Isle of Wight.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before we start.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Do not paint over the silicone
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
Frames and glazing around Bouldnor
Bouldnor is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Church of St Swithin (old) include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you let a flat or house near Lymington Pier station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
