Window & door mastic in Totton, Hampshire

About our window mastic in Totton
Some gaps around frames are far deeper than they look. Packing it solid with sealant gives a joint that cannot flex, so we fit backing rod to set the right depth. The sealant then grips the two sides it should. Typical jobs include mastic that has split away from the wall and a bead that doesn’t match the frame, on composite doors, patio & French doors and window sills.
Walls in Totton that face the prevailing wind take the most weather, so the mastic there tends to fail first. It’s worth looking at every frame, not just the one that leaks.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too in Totton and across Hampshire. We can quote a run of properties together.
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Do not aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Clear any debris from frame drain holes
- Paint up to the joint, not over it
Keep sill grooves and drainage slots clear, so rain drains out rather than building up at the sealant.
A failed joint lets water into the wall a little at a time. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Catching it early keeps the fix to a reseal.

Your questions about window mastic in Totton
I let a flat near Totton station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Can you do window mastic in Totton?
Yes, Totton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes a morning for a couple of windows and a door. Access and how stubborn the old mastic is affect the time most.
Can you do upstairs windows?
Yes, where they can be reached safely. Tell us about access when you get in touch so we can plan the job.
Do you need window mastic in Totton?
Sills take more water than any other part of a window, and the ends of the sill, where it meets the wall, are where it gets in. Failed sealant there lets rain into the wall or behind the frame.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
- Draughts coming in around windows and doors
In the older streets around Church of St Winfred, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- The length of the guarantee
- How hidden problems are handled
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
What window mastic looks like in Totton
Totton is within about 2 miles 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Abbotswood Junior School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Totton station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

Different surfaces, different methods
uPVC windows
Some uPVC windows were sealed at fitting with a quick bead that never bonded. We cut it out, back any deep gaps and reseal properly.
Window sills
Every drop off the glass ends up on the sill, so the joints at each end and underneath matter. Each is cleaned out and resealed.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In Totton, parking is rarely complicated, though it helps to know about driveways or restrictions, and let us know if the work is upstairs, in a flat or up high outside.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- We fit backing rod in deep gaps so the sealant is the right depth.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
