Window mastic for homes and businesses in Rookley Green
The new joint doesn’t have to be white. White, brown, anthracite grey, black and clear sealants are all available, so the line suits the frame instead of standing out. We work on patio & French doors, window sills and aluminium frames, and people most often call us about draughty joints inside around the window and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Rookley Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Use gentle cleaners on frames and sealant
- Check the mastic once a year
- Keep timber frames painted
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
Timber frames need their paint kept up, because bare, wet timber moves more and pulls at the joint. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. For a village or hamlet like Rookley Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Rookley Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why book with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We’re fully insured
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild

Windows and doors in Rookley Green
With historic houses such as Sheat Manor (about 1.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rookley Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. 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.
Letting a property close to Shanklin station? Then cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

How the job changes by surface
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. They’re cut out and resealed with exterior sealant.
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, and the joint around it is sealed like a window. We match the colour to the frame.
