How the job changes by surface
Aluminium frames
Bi-fold and sliding aluminium doors have long frame joints, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: blocked drain slots, worn brush seals and threshold details can let water in too. We check before we reseal.
About our window mastic in Nettlecombe
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. Once that seal fails, wind and rain find the gap. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Typical jobs include damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain and untidy mastic left by window fitters, on composite doors, window sills and patio & French doors.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Nettlecombe is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

FAQs for Nettlecombe
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shanklin station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Does the coastal weather in Nettlecombe affect outside sealant?
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.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Do you work in Nettlecombe?
We do. Our applicators work in Nettlecombe, and the service is the same as everywhere else.
Can you reach windows above the ground floor?
Yes, in most cases. Access is planned before we start, so mention the height and anything in the way.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Why it’s worth doing now in Nettlecombe
Not every sealant suits a window. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Nettlecombe, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.

Before we arrive

What else we do in Nettlecombe
Windows and doors in Nettlecombe
Nettlecombe is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Water Hydrant Opposite Parish Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. Rented homes near Shanklin station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Nettlecombe is about 7 miles south of Newport, in the Isle of Wight. Homes, rented property, offices and hotels in Nettlecombe is covered for window mastic, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. Our area takes in 125 places across the Isle of Wight, large and small. We also work in Portsmouth, around 16 miles away.
Every address in PO38 is covered for window mastic. Nearby, we also carry out window mastic in Southford (1 mile north-west), Bierley (1 mile west), Wroxall (2 miles north-east), Godshill (2 miles north) and Sandford (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Newport (7 miles north), Ryde (9 miles north-east), Cowes (11 miles north), Sandown (6 miles north-east), Shanklin (4 miles north-east) and East Cowes (11 miles north). For island and remote addresses, a little more planning is needed.
Around Nettlecombe
Typical jobs here are in homes near The White Horse Inn and the streets around them. The closest station to Nettlecombe is Shanklin station, roughly 4.1 miles north-east of the centre. A little further out are Longshoremans Museum (2.2 miles east) and Arthur Webster Memorial Hospital for Children (4.1 miles north-east). Green spaces nearby include Stenbury Down.
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: 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 are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- A failed sealed unit that has misted up
- A frame that has rotted at the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
