Common questions in Totland
Do you cover Totland for window mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Totland is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Totland any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you seal inside as well as outside?
Yes. Indoors, we seal between the frame and the plaster or reveal.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, as long as they can be reached safely. Let us know about access when you ask for a quote and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Each job is covered for 12 months.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Window mastic for homes and businesses in Totland
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. Filling it with sealant alone leaves a joint that can’t move properly, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. That way the new bead bonds to the frame and the wall only. Typical jobs include cracked internal joints between frame and plaster and cold air getting in at the frame edge, across uPVC windows, aluminium frames and window sills.
Around Totland, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why it’s worth doing now in Totland
Failed mastic is not a reason to replace sound windows. Where the frames are sound, new mastic normally deals with draughts and leaks at the edges. Problems with the glass or gaskets are for a window company, and we’ll say so. Homes in smaller places like Totland can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames from start to finish. Parking around Totland is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, we go round the frames with you and agree the list.
- The old mastic is cut out and scraped back to clean surfaces.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Frames and glazing around Totland
Totland is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around window and door frames, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you look after a building such as St Saviour's Catholic Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
- Keep timber frames painted
- Ventilate rooms so frames don’t stay wet inside
Timber frames need their paint kept up, since wood that gets wet swells and shrinks more. Keep paint off the silicone itself.
Leaks normally show up in wet, windy weather, but sealant goes on best when frames and walls are dry. Dealing with it when you first notice a crack avoids chasing leaks through the wet months.
What the job involves on each surface
Aluminium frames
Large aluminium doors have long joints down each side and across the head, and the threshold joint takes a lot of water. We prepare and reseal every joint, backing the deep ones.
Composite doors
Front doors take the weather head on. Those corners get the most care.

When something else is needed
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant will not put right:
- Condensation trapped between the panes
- Faulty window hardware
- Damp coming through the wall itself rather than the frame joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Timber windows & doors
- uPVC windows
