- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.
- Every joint is tooled smooth and checked before we leave.

Related advice
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Ropley Dean
There are two joints on most windows. The external joint is the weather seal; inside, the joint between frame and plaster stops draughts and tidies the reveal. Either or both can be done. We’re often asked to deal with white mastic on grey or black frames and gaps left after new windows were fitted, across composite doors, window sills and aluminium frames.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Ropley Dean is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ropley Dean
A quick bead over the top of old mastic looks like an easy fix, but new sealant can’t bond to old, crumbling mastic. It peels before long, and water still gets in behind. Proper resealing starts with removing the old joint. In a small place like Ropley Dean, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Do you need window mastic in Ropley Dean?
Timber windows bring their own problems. Old mastic gets painted over and cracks under the paint, and timber moves with moisture as well as temperature.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Black, perished sealant on frames
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Questions from Ropley Dean
Can you do window mastic in Ropley Dean?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Ropley Dean is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Is window mastic in Ropley Dean guaranteed?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
Is it worth trying it myself?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
It will if the frame joint is the problem. We check where the draught is before work begins.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
What window mastic looks like in Ropley Dean
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Hinton Ampner House (about 3.7 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Ropley Dean as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Ropley Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Timber windows & doors
Older timber windows in stone or brick can suit sand mastic rather than modern sealant. We can talk through the options.
Patio & French doors
Water at the foot of a door frame is not always the mastic: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
