DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
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.
Window mastic in Hoe Gate
Homes in Hoe Gate have every kind of window: from uPVC casements to timber and aluminium, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. We work on composite doors, window sills and timber windows & doors, and the jobs we see most are a bead that doesn’t match the frame and mastic that has split away from the wall.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hoe Gate is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.

Windows and doors in Hoe Gate
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Newtown Soberton Infant School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Portchester 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.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. In a small place like Hoe Gate, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

How to look after the new joints
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
Try not to touch the new joint while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Keep jet washers away from the frames.
Leaks generally show up in wet, windy weather, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.

Common problems we fix in Hoe Gate
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Trinity, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- How hidden problems are handled
- Is VAT in the price?
- Are they insured?
