Window mastic in Ramsdell, done properly
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. Common call-outs are for black, perished sealant on frames and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, on aluminium frames, uPVC windows and composite doors.
Homes in small places like Ramsdell often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Windows and doors in Ramsdell
With historic houses such as The Vyne (about 2.9 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ramsdell as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Bramley (Hants) station, sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.

How the job changes by surface
Patio & French doors
Patio and French doors have the longest joints on most houses. Most leaks start at the bottom corners, so they get particular care.
Timber windows & doors
Timber moves with moisture as well as heat, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
How it works
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Ramsdell, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Wipe condensation off the frames
- Keep paint off silicone joints
Check the drainage slots in the frames aren’t blocked, so water can run away instead of sitting against the joint.
Look out for the warning signs: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
Why act early in Ramsdell
The work is quick compared with the damage it prevents: it takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Leave it until water is coming in and you may need plastering and decorating as well. Older cottages and farmhouses around Ramsdell can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Do you need window mastic in Ramsdell?
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it has hardened, the frame’s movement tears it from the wall, and a gap opens along one edge.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Leaking joints at the ends of sills
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
Managing a site like The Priory Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Will you come out to Ramsdell?
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.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can I paint over the new sealant?

Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
