- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
Common problems we fix in Emsworth
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
If you look after a building such as St James Church of England Controlled Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
Before booking anyone
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
About our window mastic in Emsworth
Around Emsworth we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you are dealing with leaking joints at the ends of sills and black, perished sealant on frames, we can help, on aluminium frames, composite doors and window sills alike.
In a smaller place like Emsworth, some walls face open ground and catch the full force of the weather. That’s hard on the mastic around frames and sills.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. A visit to Emsworth is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Your questions about window mastic in Emsworth
Does the coastal weather in Emsworth affect outside sealant?
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 usually the first to need attention.
I let a flat near Emsworth station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. We choose the product with your decorating in mind, so mention it when you book.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
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.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Normally, yes. Access is planned before work begins, so mention the height and anything in the way.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.

When something else is needed
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What happens if it’s left?
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone are not made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Homes in smaller places like Emsworth can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Window mastic in Emsworth: local notes
Emsworth is within about 1 mile 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. With historic houses such as Warblington Castle (about 1.3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Emsworth as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Emsworth station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. If you live in an older home near Church of St James, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
