How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Lower Swanwick needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- Old, cracked mastic is removed completely, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Window mastic in Lower Swanwick
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. Resealing that joint can make a room feel noticeably less draughty. Where the air is getting in through the window itself, we’ll say so. We’re often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and leaking joints at the ends of sills, on patio & French doors, uPVC windows and window sills.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Lower Swanwick is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

Window mastic in Lower Swanwick: local notes
Lower Swanwick is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of St Leonard include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Bursledon station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Keep timber frames painted
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.
Why deal with it now?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Over time that can mean damp patches, damaged plaster and rotting timber. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Older cottages and farmhouses around Lower Swanwick can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

DIY versus a professional finish
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Soft or decayed wood in the frame
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal

Lower Swanwick: your questions answered
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Lower Swanwick any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Swanwick?
Yes, Lower Swanwick is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Some hybrid sealants can be painted; silicone can’t. Tell us if you’re decorating and we will choose accordingly.
