Surface by surface
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we will tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
Window mastic in Pilley Bailey, done properly
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. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on window sills, timber windows & doors and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about draughts coming in around windows and doors and gaps left after new windows were fitted.
Around Pilley Bailey, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

How we quote for window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How much there is to do
- Working hours on commercial sites
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Windows and doors in Pilley Bailey
Pilley Bailey is within about 2 miles of 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. With historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House (about 4 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pilley Bailey as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Rented homes near Lymington Town station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first. In the older streets around Saint Nicholas Chapel, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Your questions about window mastic in Pilley Bailey
Do you cover smaller places like Pilley Bailey?
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 window mastic in a coastal place like Pilley Bailey any different?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Does the work come with a guarantee?
Yes. Our 12-month guarantee covers every job, inside or out.
Is the new sealant paintable?
That depends on the product. Silicone isn’t paintable, but some hybrid sealants are. Mention any painting plans before work begins.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Plenty of draughts come through the inside joint as well as the outside, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we will say so.
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Pilley Bailey
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished. Around Pilley Bailey, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep timber frames painted
Check the drainage slots in the frames are not blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Once wood has rotted, it needs repair before it can be sealed, so early resealing is worth it.
What we are called out for in Pilley Bailey
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. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
Managing a site like William Gilpin Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
Before booking anyone
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether VAT is included
- What product goes in the joint
- Are they insured?
