Lord's Wood: your questions answered
Can you do window mastic in Lord's Wood?
Yes, Lord's Wood is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Eastleigh station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. We cover Lord's Wood and the rest of Hampshire, along with the rest of our area.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
The work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus photos if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Window mastic in Lord's Wood, done properly
The new joint does not have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on patio & French doors, aluminium frames and window sills, and people most often call us about black, perished sealant on frames and leaking joints at the ends of sills.
Around Lord's Wood, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What we’re called out for in Lord's Wood
Frames are never completely still. A plastic or aluminium frame lengthens in sunshine and shortens as it cools, while the masonry beside it stays put. If the sealant cannot stretch, it splits.
The most common problems we see are:
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
If you look after a building such as Colden Common Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Questions to ask before booking

Landlord and commercial work in Lord's Wood
If you manage several properties in or around Lord's Wood, jobs at different addresses can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Make sure the drainage slots are not blocked
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Draughts get worse, not better. As old mastic keeps shrinking, the gap widens, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.

Lord's Wood homes and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like South Stoneham House (about 4.1 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Lord's Wood 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.
If you let a flat or house near Eastleigh station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Asking for a quote

- A few photos by email, if you can

- Where the job is, and your postcode

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
Surface by surface
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
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.
How it works
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 any work starts. The work usually takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. In a small place like Lord's Wood, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
