DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Window mastic in Portsmouth Point, done properly
There are two joints on most windows. Outside, the mastic keeps rain out; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. We seal one or both, depending on what’s needed. Typical jobs include cold air getting in at the frame edge and rushed sealant from a window installation, on window sills, uPVC windows and patio & French doors.
Many houses in smaller places like Portsmouth Point have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Signs you need window mastic in Portsmouth Point
Mastic ages in the weather. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Rented homes near Portsmouth Harbour station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

The process
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house in most cases. For a job in Portsmouth Point, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Deep gaps are filled with backing rod to set the depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Finally we tidy up and check each joint.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Questions from Portsmouth Point
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Portsmouth Point?
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.
Is Portsmouth Point within the area you cover?
Yes, Portsmouth Point is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long does it take to reseal the windows on a house?
That depends on the number of frames, how they’re reached and the state of the old mastic. We’ll tell you how long your job needs when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you guarantee window mastic?
Yes, for 12 months. Keeping drainage clear and checking the joints yearly helps them last.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Interior caulk and bathroom silicone aren’t made for exterior frame joints. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Homes in smaller places like Portsmouth Point can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Windows and doors in Portsmouth Point
Portsmouth Point is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Portsmouth Garrison church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Managing a site like St Jude's CofE Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
An exposed front door gets wind-driven rain, and the top and bottom corners tend to fail first. Those corners get the most care.
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.
