Window mastic in Moortown
Around Moortown we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, plus patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. Common call-outs are for sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and gaps left after new windows were fitted, on uPVC windows, window sills and timber windows & doors.
Homes in small places like Moortown often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. A low-modulus exterior sealant keeps its stretch through hot and cold weather. Older cottages and farmhouses around Moortown can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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.

Signs you need window mastic in Moortown
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Look out for any of the following:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- A bead that does not match the frame
- Rushed sealant from a window installation
In the older streets around St. Mary's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Common questions in Moortown
Will you come out to Moortown?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you do window mastic in Moortown?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Moortown is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Can new window sealant be painted?
Silicone generally will not take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we will use a paintable product where it suits.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
How the job changes by surface
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so a flexible sealant is essential. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the sill ends and the joint under the frame are vital. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
What window mastic looks like in Moortown
Moortown is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Mottistone Manor (about 1.3 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Moortown has older buildings as well as new. 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.
Schools such as Brighstone Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and clear up. It usually takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere as small as Moortown, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We clear up and check every joint is fully closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
