The process
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. For a village or hamlet like Sutton Scotney, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- 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.

How we handle window mastic in Sutton Scotney
A window frame and the wall around it expand and shrink at different rates. Heat and cold make frames grow and shrink against brick or render that hardly moves. So the sealant has to stretch and recover, which is why we use a low-modulus product. We work on composite doors, window sills and patio & French doors, and the jobs we see most are rushed sealant from a window installation and cracked internal joints between frame and plaster.
In a village or hamlet like Sutton Scotney, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Surface by surface
Composite doors
Composite doors are normally hung in an uPVC-type frame, so its perimeter joint is sealed much like a window. The bead is colour-matched to the frame.
Window sills
Sills catch the water running down the glass, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
What we’re called out for in Sutton Scotney
A lot of older mastic was never designed to stay flexible. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Sealant in the wrong colour for the frame
- Old mastic that has gone black or come away
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
For an older house near a landmark such as Ebenezer Methodist Chapel, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.
Questions to ask before you book
- Are they insured?
- The length of the guarantee
- Is VAT in the price?
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
Why act early in Sutton Scotney
Draughts and leaks don’t always mean new windows. If the frames and glass are in good order, resealing the joints is often all that is needed. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. In a small place like Sutton Scotney, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Clean frames with a soft cloth and soapy water
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Do not paint over the silicone
- Look round the frames every year or so
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and keep solvents and harsh chemicals off the joint.
Signs to watch for: cracks in the mastic, gaps you can see light through, damp on the reveal or mould around the inside of the frame. Any of these is worth a call.
