How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It generally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere as small as Red Rice, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check how each frame can be reached safely.
- All the failed sealant is cut away.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing, and primed where the sealant calls for it.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Check the mastic once a year
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
On timber frames, keep the paintwork in good order, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.

What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, using a product chosen for the frame and wall. In a small place like Red Rice, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Questions from Red Rice
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Andover station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you do window mastic in Red Rice?
Yes, Red Rice is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
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. You’ll know the timing when we quote.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
Yes, if the air is getting in around the frame. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
What the job involves on each surface
Timber windows & doors
On period timber windows, traditional sand mastic is sometimes the better choice. We can talk through the options.
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the bottom joint sees the most water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in Red Rice can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you need window mastic in Red Rice?
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
- Cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary the Virgin, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
