Frames and glazing around Bull Hill
Bull Hill is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House (about 3.9 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bull Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Letting a property close to Lymington Town station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Schools such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Saint Nicholas Chapel include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Bull Hill
Colour matters on a frame. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. If you’re dealing with hard, cracked sealant around windows and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can help.
Homes in small places like Bull Hill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Bull Hill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Over 20 years’ experience
- Old sealant always removed completely

What to tell us for a quote

What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Bull Hill questions
Is Bull Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
I let a flat near Lymington Town station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Do you work on first-floor windows?
Yes, if safe access is possible. Higher or awkward frames may need extra access, and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We do one or both.
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
A yearly look round the frames is enough. Small splits are simple to catch before they leak, and if anything looks wrong, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. Somewhere like Bull Hill needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
