We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house, and the area is left clean. In a small place like Upper Swanmore, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each window and door with you.
- Next the failed sealant is cut away and the joint cleaned.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.

Surface by surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the new bead is laid against the frame and the wall.
Patio & French doors
Not every patio door leak is a mastic problem: worn seals, blocked drainage slots or a poor threshold detail can be the cause. We check before we reseal.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Upper Swanmore homes and 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.
Schools such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Barnabas, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Can you do the inside joint as well?
Yes, we do both. Inside, the joint between frame and plaster is sealed neatly, using a paintable sealant if you want to decorate.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Let us know what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Are you an approved applicator?

When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can resealing stop a draught around my window?
If the draught is coming in around the frame, yes. If it’s through the window’s own seals or a hinge, that is a different fix, and we’ll say so.

When to call us in Upper Swanmore
Older frames were often sealed with products that set hard. Once it’s rigid, every bit of frame movement pulls at it, leaving a hairline gap down one side.
The problems people normally mention when they call include:
- Damp patches on the reveal after heavy rain
- Untidy mastic left by window fitters
- Cracked sealant at the sill ends
- White mastic on grey or black frames
Rented homes near Botley station change hands often, and sound mastic around windows and doors keeps out the draughts and damp that tenants notice first.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
What happens if it’s left?
Working on frames from a ladder with a sealant gun isn’t easy, especially on upper floors. We cut out properly, back deep gaps and tool every joint neatly, in a sealant suited to the wall. In a small place like Upper Swanmore, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
- Keep paint and stain on wooden frames in good order
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Look round the frames every year or so
Silicone cannot normally be painted, so mention any painting plans before work begins. There are paintable sealants for joints that need it.
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. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
