Window & door mastic in Godshill, Isle of Wight
Mastic around window and door frames, sills and patio doors for homes and businesses in Godshill and across the Isle of Wight. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Godshill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Window mastic in Godshill
Every window and door frame has a gap around it, and mastic is what closes it. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We work on uPVC windows, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and the jobs we see most are rain getting in at the frame or under the sill and gaps left after new windows were fitted.
Homes in small places like Godshill often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Quotes for window mastic in Godshill
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
We don’t publish a price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall and tooled smooth.
What window mastic looks like in Godshill
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Sheat Manor (about 2.5 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Godshill 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’s traditional sand mastic.
Schools such as Godshill Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Do you need window mastic in Godshill?
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
For an older house near a landmark such as All Saints' Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

FAQs for Godshill
Will you come out to Godshill?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is Godshill in your area for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Godshill is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so it can be worth sealing both.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our one-year guarantee covers every job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What do you put in the joint?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
What we can’t put right
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
