Window mastic for homes and businesses in Hordle
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. The old mastic is removed and the joint resealed with a flexible exterior sealant. We work on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and common reasons people get in touch are old mastic that has gone black or come away and damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain.
Many houses in smaller places like Hordle have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Keep timber frames painted
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. If you notice one, it’s time to get the joint looked at.

Signs you need window mastic in Hordle
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- A bead that does not match the frame

Questions from Hordle
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Hordle any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to Hordle?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
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 before we leave.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Generally, yes. Tell us the frame colour when you get in touch and we will match it as closely as we can.
What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job generally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a smaller place like Hordle, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Frames and glazing around Hordle
Hordle is within about 2 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Timber windows & doors
Soft or rotten wood cannot be sealed successfully. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as that is a job for a joiner.
When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Faulty window hardware
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
