Signs you need window mastic in Gunville
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
Schools such as Carisbrooke College are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Gunville: your questions answered
Will you come out to Gunville?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Gunville in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Gunville is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
How long will my window job take?
A few frames take a few hours, while a whole house takes longer. We confirm the timing with your quote.
What does window mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
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: split or missing mastic, gaps, damp patches inside or black mould on the reveal. Any of these is worth a call.
What we can’t put right
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What we seal
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- The product the joint needs
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Helping us quote
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved

What else we do in Gunville
Windows and doors in Gunville
Historic houses like Carisbrooke Castle (about 0.8 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Gunville 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around St. Mary's Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
