Why it’s worth doing now in Bowling Alley
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic generally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Around Bowling Alley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Window mastic in Bowling Alley
Around Bowling Alley we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. We work on window sills, patio & French doors and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are black, perished sealant on frames and water coming in at the bottom corners of a door.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Bowling Alley is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. It comes out, deep gaps get backing rod and the joint is resealed.

Signs you need window mastic in Bowling Alley
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:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
Rented homes near Winchfield station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

When it isn’t the sealant
We won’t take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint

When is the sealant fully cured?

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
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 trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Window mastic in Bowling Alley: local notes
Historic houses like Farnham Castle (about 3.1 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Bowling Alley 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Schools such as St Nicholas' School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

We protect the rest, and the job takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job. In a small place like Bowling Alley, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.

- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
