Window mastic in Pilley, done properly
Around Pilley we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. Each gets a sealant chosen for the frame and the wall it meets. Typical jobs include a bead that doesn’t match the frame and mastic that’s falling out in pieces, across aluminium frames, uPVC windows and window sills.
Somewhere as small as Pilley, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Signs you need window mastic in Pilley
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid can’t stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic that is falling out in pieces
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
Letting a property close to Lymington Town station? Then sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
Before booking anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Whether they’re fully insured
Why it’s worth doing now in Pilley
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun is not easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pilley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep timber frames painted
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Keep paint off silicone joints
- Look round the frames every year or so
Timber frames need their paint kept up, 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. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Aluminium moves with heat, and the frames are often slimmer than uPVC. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Timber windows & doors
Where timber has rotted at the joint, it needs repairing first. If we find rot, we’ll tell you before going ahead, as a joiner will need to deal with it.
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 a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere like Pilley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- New exterior sealant goes on in a matching colour and is tooled smooth.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What else we do in Pilley
Windows and doors in Pilley
Pilley 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 4.4 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pilley 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.
If you look after a building such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to Saint Nicholas Chapel include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Questions from Pilley
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Pilley?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lymington Town station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Is there any odour?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Ventilation helps.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
How many windows can you do in a day?
Allow most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
