How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Little Posbrook, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Little Posbrook
Homes in Little Posbrook have every kind of window: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. If you have cracked sealant at the sill ends and rain getting in at the frame or under the sill, we can help, on timber windows & doors, composite doors and uPVC windows alike.
Homes in small places like Little Posbrook often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. You might not see it until plaster blows or a damp patch appears inside. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.

What else we do in Little Posbrook
DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Little Posbrook
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Frames and glazing around Little Posbrook
Little Posbrook is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Stubbington House School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Fareham 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.

Why act early in Little Posbrook
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Posbrook, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
