Window mastic in Shobley
If you can feel air around a shut window, the gap is often at the frame. A new joint stops the air getting through. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We work on patio & French doors, timber windows & doors and composite doors, and people most often call us about sealant in the wrong colour for the frame and draughts coming in around windows and doors.
Homes in small places like Shobley often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Shobley questions
Is there a guarantee on window mastic in Shobley?
All our work, in Shobley and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Shobley within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
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 will say so.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Shobley homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Avon Tyrrell House (about 3.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Shobley has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
Homes close to St John the Baptist include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

When it is not the sealant
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- A door that needs adjusting, rehanging or new seals
- Misting between the panes of a double-glazed unit (that needs a new unit)
- Penetrating damp from a failed cavity tray or render
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Composite doors
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
- Timber windows & doors
- Patio & French doors
- Aluminium frames
When to call us in Shobley
Frames are never completely still. Sun on a frame makes it expand, and it contracts again overnight, while the brick or render around it hardly moves. If the sealant can’t stretch, it splits.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
Managing a site like Poulner Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

What the job involves on each surface
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that without cracking.
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
The process
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it normally takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Somewhere like Shobley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check each frame and agree which ones need doing.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What else we do in Shobley
Why it’s worth doing now in Shobley
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Shobley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.
