What happens on the day
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a smaller place like Hamble-le-Rice, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.

Advice
How we handle window mastic in Hamble-le-Rice
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. We can seal in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the bead blends with the window rather than framing it. We work on window sills, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked sealant at the sill ends and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Many houses in smaller places like Hamble-le-Rice have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Hamble-le-Rice and everywhere else we cover.

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at 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.
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. We use a neutral-cure product.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame isn’t always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We look for the cause first.
What window mastic looks like in Hamble-le-Rice
Hamble-le-Rice is within about 1 mile of 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. Historic houses like Medieval Merchant's House (about 4.4 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Hamble-le-Rice 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Hamble station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Common questions in Hamble-le-Rice
Will you come out to Hamble-le-Rice?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Hamble-le-Rice?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- A sash or casement that won’t close properly
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Condensation trapped between the panes
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
