Window & door mastic in Cufaude, Hampshire
We cover Cufaude for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and a one-year guarantee.
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood can’t be sealed successfully. We’ll point out any rot we find, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. Those are sealed with a product suited to stone or concrete.
Window mastic in Cufaude, done properly
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that cannot move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. If you have rushed sealant from a window installation and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Cufaude, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What window mastic looks like in Cufaude
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like The Vyne (about 0.9 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Cufaude has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. If you look after a building such as Bramley Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as The Vyne Chapel, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Questions from Cufaude
Is Cufaude within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bramley (Hants) station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where it’s safe. For high or awkward windows, we’ll tell you what access is needed.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant will not put right:
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- uPVC windows
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Window sills

What affects the cost of window mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
- Whether the work is at height
- The amount of work
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few photos by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Cufaude, the journey is planned in advance: 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 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.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any water getting in

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Ventilate rooms so frames do not stay wet inside
Silicone can’t generally be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
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.
Why deal with it now?
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Around Cufaude, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
