- Broken hinges, locks or handles

Window mastic in Whiteley Bank, done properly
Behind a thin line of old mastic there’s sometimes a deep void. 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. If you’re dealing with water coming in at the bottom corners of a door and rushed sealant from a window installation, we can help, on composite doors, window sills and aluminium frames alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Whiteley Bank is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Make sure the drainage slots aren’t blocked
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Avoid harsh chemicals near the mastic
Have a look at the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Cracks and lifting edges are easy to spot early.
A small gap around a frame only grows. As the old mastic shrinks further, more air gets through, and heat escapes around the frame. Resealing closes it.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Whiteley Bank
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. We can quote a run of properties together.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames in most cases. Somewhere as small as Whiteley Bank, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, we confirm safe access to each frame.
- All the failed sealant is cut away, along with any loose debris.
- The surfaces are cleaned and left dry.
- Backing rod fills deep voids and the sealant goes in on top.
- We tool the joint so water runs off, then clear up.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Windows and doors in Whiteley Bank
Whiteley Bank is within about 3 miles of 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as St John's Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Wroxall Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Rented homes near Shanklin station change hands often, and cracked frame mastic tends to show up as a draught or damp complaint, so it’s worth checking between lets.
Whiteley Bank is about 6 miles south-east of Newport, in the Isle of Wight.

What the job involves on each surface
uPVC windows
We clean the frame edge carefully so the plastic is not marked, then the sealant goes in between frame and wall.
Aluminium frames
Metal frames expand in the sun and are often slim, with little room for error. A neat, narrow bead in a colour to match suits the frame.
Questions from Whiteley Bank
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Shanklin station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Whiteley Bank?
Yes, Whiteley Bank is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can I paint over the new sealant?
Silicone generally won’t take paint. Let us know beforehand, and we’ll use a paintable product where it suits.
How long before the joint can be used?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will resealing my frames help with draughts?
Often, yes. Air often gets in between the frame and the wall, and resealing inside and out closes it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Ventilation helps.
Why it’s worth doing now in Whiteley Bank
If you’re painting or rendering, reseal at the same time. A clean new bead makes new paint or render look finished, and it’s easier while the walls are being worked on anyway. Around Whiteley Bank, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
