Window mastic in Lovedean
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we will say so. Common call-outs are for mastic that’s falling out in pieces and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, on timber windows & doors, window sills and composite doors.
Somewhere as small as Lovedean, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Lovedean, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How we quote for window mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints

- Any working-time requirements on site
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.

- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we will talk you through the work before giving you a price.

What window mastic looks like in Lovedean
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.
If you let a flat or house near Rowlands Castle station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints. If you look after a building such as Woodcroft Primary, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. In a small place like Lovedean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

FAQs for Lovedean
I let a flat near Rowlands Castle station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will you come out to Lovedean?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Is the new sealant paintable?
Not if it’s silicone. Tell us your decorating plans and we’ll pick a sealant to suit.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch and we’ll plan for it.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
