How we handle window mastic in Fairlee
Frames and walls do not move together. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. Typical jobs include rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal, across aluminium frames, composite doors and patio & French doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Fairlee is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in the Isle of Wight.

What information do you need?

How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
Allow anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Why act early in Fairlee
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fairlee can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What window mastic looks like in Fairlee
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle (about 1.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fairlee as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Managing a site like Medina College? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Fairlee, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- 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 if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
What affects the quote in Fairlee
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The size of the job
- How many areas need sealing
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
What we need to know
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The rough size of the job
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
What we’re called out for in Fairlee
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, and it lets go sooner than it should.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
For an older house near a landmark such as St Paul's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
