Windows and doors in Frogham
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 2.4 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Frogham as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Nonington Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Window mastic in Frogham
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We’re often asked to deal with a bead that doesn’t match the frame and cold air getting in at the frame edge, on aluminium frames, composite doors and uPVC windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Frogham is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.

Do you need window mastic in Frogham?
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Black, perished sealant on frames
Rented homes near Snowdown station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

How many windows can you do in a day?
A few frames take a few hours. We confirm the timing with your quote.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, where the draught is at the frame edge. We find where the air is coming from before we reseal.
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. For a village or hamlet like Frogham, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Why it’s worth doing now in Frogham
Getting a straight, even bead on an outside frame takes practice, especially upstairs. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. Around Frogham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.

What else we do in Frogham
Different surfaces, different methods
Composite doors
A composite door generally sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. Each is cleaned, backed where deep and resealed.
Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
