Window & door mastic in Ludgershall, Hampshire

How we handle window mastic in Ludgershall
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. Typical jobs include gaps where the sill meets the wall and draughts coming in around windows and doors, across timber windows & doors, patio & French doors and window sills.
Around Ludgershall, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Do you need window mastic in Ludgershall?
Mastic ages in the weather. UV light hardens the outside of the bead, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
In the older streets around Church of St James, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are

Do you cover Ludgershall for window mastic?
Yes, Ludgershall is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote and we will plan for it.

Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, for as long as we advise. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house for a typical job. For a job in Ludgershall, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
How the job changes by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall and tooled smooth.
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.
What sealant work cannot fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window sills
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Aluminium frames
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
Why deal with it now?
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but it won’t grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Around Ludgershall, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
