Window mastic in Foreland Fields
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. Typical jobs include sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain, across patio & French doors, composite doors and aluminium frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Foreland Fields is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple:
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Clean the frames with mild soapy water, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Do you need window mastic in Foreland Fields?
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Homes close to Saint Luke include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What insurance they hold
What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
Window mastic in Foreland Fields: local notes
Foreland Fields is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Yaverland Manor (about 2.6 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Foreland Fields 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.
Letting a property close to Brading station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bembridge Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why act early in Foreland Fields
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Foreland Fields, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why book with us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Neat joints and a tidy finish

What affects the quote in Foreland Fields

- Any mould that needs treating

Common questions in Foreland Fields
Does the coastal weather in Foreland Fields affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
I let a flat near Brading station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?

Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Mention any painting plans before work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
