Frames and glazing around North Gorley
With historic houses such as Breamore House (about 4.5 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around North Gorley as well as newer homes. 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

About our window mastic in North Gorley
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you have old mastic that has gone black or come away and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Homes in small places like North Gorley 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in North Gorley and across Hampshire.

Signs you need window mastic in North Gorley
Some failures date back to when the windows were fitted. Mastic laid onto dusty, damp or crumbling surfaces never bonded as it should, so it comes away long before its time.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
In the older streets around Church of the Holy Ascension, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

Common questions in North Gorley
Do you cover smaller places like North Gorley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover North Gorley for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and North Gorley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
What do you put in the joint?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so it can be worth sealing both.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing frames is a short job: it takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Gorley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, 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. Somewhere as small as North Gorley, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- The joint is shaped to shed water and the area tidied.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
The joints around patio doors run a long way, top, sides and threshold. The threshold and the bottom corners take the most water, so we pay close attention there.
Window sills
Stone and concrete sills have their own joints, and the joint under the frame can let rain run behind. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Keep timber frames painted
- Walk round the house once a year and look at the joints
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
