How we handle window mastic in Funtley
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Typical jobs include gaps where the sill meets the wall and cold air getting in at the frame edge, on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and composite doors.
Around Funtley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

When to call us in Funtley
Joint shape matters as much as the product. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Schools such as Orchard Lea Infant School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
uPVC windows
Plastic frames move a lot between a hot afternoon and a cold night, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Funtley, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
What window mastic looks like in Funtley
Funtley is close to 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Fareham station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Francis, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Should I try DIY first?
