What window mastic looks like in Westridge
Westridge is within about 2 miles 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Oakfield 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 let a flat or house near Smallbrook Junction station, cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.

Window mastic for homes and businesses in Westridge
Most frames have an outside joint and an inside one. The external joint is the weather seal; the internal joint closes the gap to the plaster and stops draughts. Either or both can be done. If you have cold air getting in at the frame edge and cracked or shrunken mastic around the frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Westridge, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Westridge and across the Isle of Wight.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t paint over the silicone
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Keep jet washers away from the mastic
- Don’t use solvent cleaners on the joint
Keep the new mastic undisturbed while it cures, following the cure time we give you. Do not point a pressure washer at the joints.
On timber windows, water behind the joint can lead to rot. Rotten timber needs a joiner, not a sealant, so it pays to reseal before that happens.
What affects the cost of window mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now

Different surfaces, different methods
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A tidy bead in anthracite grey, black or a matching colour keeps the clean look.
uPVC windows
uPVC expands and contracts noticeably with temperature, so the joint needs a low-modulus sealant that stays flexible. We match white, brown, anthracite grey and black frames.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
For anyone letting property in or around Westridge, jobs at different addresses can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
Why deal with it now?
A cracked joint around a frame lets rain into the wall. Left long enough, it can stain inside walls, spoil plaster and rot wooden frames. Resealing now is a small job by comparison. Around Westridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us

How it works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Somewhere like Westridge needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look at every frame and agree the list.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame and the wall.
- Where gaps are deep, backing rod goes in first.
- A flexible, weatherproof sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
