Window & door mastic in Lower Burgate, Hampshire
Window mastic across Lower Burgate and nearby, with old sealant always removed completely.
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- White mastic on grey or black frames
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
Most silicone sealants will not take paint, so mention any painting plans before work begins. We can use a paintable sealant where that matters.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
How we handle window mastic in Lower Burgate
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We are fully insured ARBOMaster approved applicators, and every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee. We are often asked to deal with a bead that doesn’t match the frame and untidy mastic left by window fitters, on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and window sills.
Somewhere as small as Lower Burgate, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A 12-month guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

How it works
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Lower Burgate, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Window mastic in Lower Burgate: local notes
With historic houses such as Breamore House (about 2.2 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Lower Burgate as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Burgate School and Sixth Form, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Do you need window mastic in Lower Burgate?
Plenty of failed mastic was poorly applied in the first place. Sealant run over dust, wet brick or loose mortar didn’t grip properly, so it comes away long before its time.
Look out for any of the following:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
In the older streets around St Mary's Church, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
Questions to ask before booking
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
