Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Keep drainage slots and sill grooves clear
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Avoid blasting the frames with a pressure washer
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Paint up to the joint, not over the silicone.
Wet, windy weather is when failed mastic shows itself, but resealing works best in dry conditions. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Soberton Heath
The mastic around a window or door seals the gap between the frame and the wall. When it cracks, hardens or pulls away, draughts and rain get in. Our applicators cut it out and replace it with a flexible, weatherproof sealant. We are often asked to deal with gaps left after new windows were fitted and draughty joints inside around the window, across patio & French doors, window sills and timber windows & doors.
Around Soberton Heath, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Common problems we fix in Soberton Heath
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, and a gap opens along one edge.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Hard, cracked sealant around windows
- Cracked internal joints between frame and plaster
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
What your quote should include
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the cure time is
- How much experience the applicator has
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Damp problems in the wall away from the window
- Worn gaskets, brush seals or a door that has dropped
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.

Soberton Heath homes and the weather
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Newtown Soberton Infant School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Coated aluminium needs a compatible sealant and we avoid acetoxy silicones, which can react with some metals. Neutral-cure sealant is the safe choice.
Window sills
Masonry sills can have joints where water gets in, including the one between the sill and the frame above. We seal those with a sealant suited to masonry.
Common questions in Soberton Heath
Do you cover Soberton Heath for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Soberton Heath is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Soberton Heath within the area you cover?
Yes. Soberton Heath is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Do you have sealant for grey or black windows?
Yes. Anthracite grey, black, brown and white cover most frames, with clear as an option.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Why deal with it now?
Redecorating is a good moment to renew the mastic. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Soberton Heath, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, depending on the size of the job.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- The old mastic is cut out and the surfaces cleaned back.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
