Emery Down Window Mastic
We cover Emery Down for mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
Window mastic in Emery Down, done properly
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. If you have cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, we can help.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Emery Down is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
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.

When to call us in Emery Down
Every frame moves through the day. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. A sealant that cannot keep up eventually tears.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
Letting a property close to Ashurst New Forest station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

What affects the cost of window mastic
You’ll get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

- The type of property
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a village or hamlet like Emery Down, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Windows and doors in Emery Down
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Michael and All Angels CofE Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
