Frames and glazing around Mansbridge
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like South Stoneham House (about 0.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Mansbridge has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Mansbridge Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Rented homes near Swaythling station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Mansbridge: your questions answered
Do you cover Mansbridge for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Mansbridge is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Mansbridge?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames generally suit brown.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Outside is the weather seal; inside closes the gap to the plaster. We can do either or both.
Why deal with it now?
Draughts and leaks do not always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that’s needed. If we find failed glass units or worn seals, we will tell you. In an older home around Mansbridge, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

How we quote for window mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- The address or postcode of the job
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Silicone can’t normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before any work starts. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. For a job in Mansbridge, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- 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
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Do you need window mastic in Mansbridge?
On timber frames, paint and putty build up around the joint. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Black, perished sealant on frames
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.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Are they insured?
- Whether you can choose the colour

How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Composite doors
A composite door usually sits in a plastic outer frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
