- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Window mastic in Brading, done properly
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. If you’re dealing with whistling draughts around closed windows and sealant in the wrong colour for the frame, we can put it right, on composite doors, aluminium frames and uPVC windows alike.
Somewhere as small as Brading, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

FAQs for Brading
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Brading any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Brading station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is the new sealant paintable?
It depends on the sealant. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone cannot. Mention any painting plans before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
What does window mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, with our 12-month guarantee. A yearly look at the joints helps them last.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.

Brading homes and the weather
Brading is within about 2 miles of 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. 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.
Managing a site like Brading Church of England Controlled Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Brading station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Surface by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We seal the frame and let you know about anything else.

How we quote for window mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
- Mould in or behind the old joints
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: 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.
Helping us quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- A few photos by email, if you can

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it.

For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Related advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Brading
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we’ll tell you. Around Brading, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
When to call us in Brading
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. That’s what backing rod is for.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
In the older streets around St. Mary's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
