Window mastic in Lodsworth
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. We work on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and timber windows & doors, and people most often call us about rushed sealant from a window installation and cold air getting in at the frame edge.
In a village or hamlet like Lodsworth, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why deal with it now?
Failed mastic isn’t a reason to replace sound windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Lodsworth, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
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.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
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. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.
How it works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door for a typical job. Somewhere like Lodsworth needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Windows and doors in Lodsworth
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Cowdray House (about 2.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Lodsworth 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 is traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Peter, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. In and around Lodsworth, as anywhere, good window mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
