Window mastic for homes and businesses in Tiptoe
Around Tiptoe we seal all kinds of frames: uPVC, aluminium, timber and composite, along with patio doors, French doors and sills. The sealant is chosen to suit the frame material and the wall. If you have mastic that has split away from the wall and gaps where the sill meets the wall, we can put it right, on patio & French doors, composite doors and aluminium frames alike.
Homes in small places like Tiptoe often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work usually takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Somewhere as small as Tiptoe, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Where the gap is deep, backing rod goes in first.
- The new sealant goes on in white, brown, anthracite grey, black or clear to suit.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Questions from Tiptoe
Do you work for landlords with property near Sway station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Does living near the coast affect window mastic in Tiptoe?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What should I tell you?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
Can you get sealant to suit coloured frames?
Yes. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames usually suit brown.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
What affects the quote in Tiptoe
For a quick quote, just ask. The main things that affect it are:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Access and height
- The size of the job
- The number of rooms or windows
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the property is
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Air rooms to keep condensation down around windows
- Do not use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
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.
Draughts get worse, not better. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and a cold room gets colder. A new joint closes it up.
What else we do in Tiptoe
Frames and glazing around Tiptoe
Tiptoe is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That is hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Highcliffe Castle (about 4.6 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Tiptoe has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Schools such as Tiptoe Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Sway station? Then renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Surface by surface
Timber windows & doors
Wood swells when it’s wet and shrinks when it dries, so the joint must stay flexible. The paint or stain needs to be sound where the sealant meets it.
Aluminium frames
Aluminium needs a sealant that bonds to coated metal. We use a neutral-cure product.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Signs you need window mastic in Tiptoe
Water runs down the glass onto the sill, so the sill ends and the joint below the frame are common leak points. When that sealant fails, water gets into the wall or under the frame.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bead that doesn’t match the frame
- Whistling draughts around closed windows
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Gaps left after new windows were fitted
In the older streets around St Andrew, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
