Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep timber frames painted
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
About our window mastic in Foulford
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that can’t flex, so deep gaps get backing rod first. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. We work on uPVC windows, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and common reasons people get in touch are mastic that’s falling out in pieces and white mastic on grey or black frames.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Foulford is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Frames and glazing around Foulford
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Avon Tyrrell House (about 3.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Foulford has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Managing a site like Ringwood School Academy? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We will tell you which suits your home.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Common problems we fix in Foulford
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. A sealant that can’t keep up eventually tears.
People generally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Homes close to St John the Baptist include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

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 matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why act early in Foulford
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Foulford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- 20+ years of sealant experience
