Window mastic for homes and businesses in Southsea
A cold draught around a closed window often comes from the frame edge. A new joint stops the air getting through and quietens the whistle on windy days. If the draught is through the window seals instead, we will tell you. We are often asked to deal with cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame and white mastic on grey or black frames, on timber windows & doors, aluminium frames and window sills.
Walls in Southsea that face the prevailing wind take the most weather, so the mastic there tends to fail first. Checking every frame, not just the obvious one, is time well spent.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
If the door itself is draughty, the issue may be the door seals or hinges rather than the frame mastic. We will tell you if that’s what we find.
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
Your questions about window mastic in Southsea
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Southsea?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Is Southsea in your area for window mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Southsea is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
How much does window mastic cost in Southsea?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Can you seal the gap between the frame and the plaster indoors?
Yes. Draughts often come through the inside gap too, so sealing both is often worthwhile.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
How long will my window job take?
The work takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Do I have to be there?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Windows and doors in Southsea
Southsea is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of 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 Craneswater Junior School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Fratton station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets. Homes close to St Margaret of Scotland include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
Silicone cannot usually be painted, so if you are planning to paint the frames or walls, tell us beforehand. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
Water trapped behind a failed joint can start rot in timber frames and sills. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so early resealing is worth it.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. Most jobs take most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Parking in a town like Southsea is normally straightforward, but tell us if there’s a driveway or any restrictions, and mention if the work is upstairs, in a flat or high on the outside.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- Frame and wall are cleaned and must be dry before sealing.
- Deep voids are backed, then the sealant is gunned in.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Why deal with it now?
If you are painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. Fresh joints finish the job neatly. Black mould and gaps in sealant don’t fix themselves, and in a busy household in Southsea they spread with every shower and every downpour. Replacing the sealant now is the simplest fix.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
