Window mastic in Itchen Stoke
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are gaps where the sill meets the wall and gaps between the frame and the inside reveal.
Somewhere as small as Itchen Stoke, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after we’ve gone.

Why act early in Itchen Stoke
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. The old mastic has to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Itchen Stoke can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. We pay most attention there.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. We reseal them so rain can’t run into the wall.

Itchen Stoke questions
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Itchen Stoke?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Is Itchen Stoke within the area you cover?
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.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Hampshire.
What do you need from me for a quote?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Windows and doors in Itchen Stoke
Historic houses like Hinton Ampner House (about 4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Itchen Stoke 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. 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.
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Perins School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
Most silicone sealants won’t take paint, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
