About our window mastic in Ringwood
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. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. We work on aluminium frames, patio & French doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about rushed sealant from a window installation and old mastic that has gone black or come away.
Many houses in smaller places like Ringwood have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic isn’t marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant, and acetoxy silicones are not used, as they can attack some metals. We use a neutral-cure product.
Why deal with it now?
Choosing the product is half the job. Decorators’ caulk and bathroom silicone are not designed for outside joints that move. An exterior, low-modulus sealant stays flexible in sun and frost. Around Ringwood, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.
Why us?
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Full insurance on every job

Windows and doors in Ringwood
With historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House (about 3.6 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ringwood as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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.
Schools such as Ringwood School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

How it works
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Parking around Ringwood is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Questions from Ringwood
Is Ringwood in your area for window mastic?
Yes, Ringwood is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
What guarantee comes with window mastic in Ringwood?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. The outside joint keeps the weather out, and the inside joint stops draughts and finishes the reveal. We can do either or both.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. We can use white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear, so the joint suits the frame.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Signs you need window mastic in Ringwood
Timber windows bring their own problems. Mastic painted over many times cracks with the paint, and the wood moves with damp as well as heat.
The most common problems we see are:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
In the older streets around Trinity Congregational Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What insurance they hold
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
