About our window mastic in Wivelrod
Over two decades of sealing frames has taught us which products suit which walls. We’re ARBOMaster approved and fully insured, and we give a 12-month guarantee on the work. Typical jobs include hard, cracked sealant around windows and draughts coming in around windows and doors, across patio & French doors, uPVC windows and window sills.
Homes in small places like Wivelrod often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Look round the frames every year or so
- Don’t aim a pressure washer at the joints
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
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. Sorting cracked mastic early means the joint is sound before the bad weather.

Common problems we fix in Wivelrod
Joints that are too thin or too deep fail early. A skim of sealant over a wide gap soon tears, while a joint packed solid cannot stretch. Backing rod sets the right depth.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- White mastic on grey or black frames
- Gaps between the frame and the inside reveal
- Mastic that has split away from the wall
- Rain getting in at the frame or under the sill
If you let a flat or house near Alton station, renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- How hidden problems are handled
- What product goes in the joint
- Whether you can choose the colour
What window mastic looks like in Wivelrod
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. Historic houses like Bentworth Hall (about 0.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Wivelrod has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For an older house near a landmark such as Chapel of Alton Abbey, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Your questions about window mastic in Wivelrod
Do you cover Wivelrod for window mastic?
Yes, Wivelrod is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is Wivelrod within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you match the sealant to my frames?
Yes, we choose a colour to suit the frame. Grey and black frames get grey or black sealant, and wood-effect frames normally suit brown.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as householders, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Will new mastic stop draughts?
In many cases. The gap between frame and wall is a common source of draughts, and sealing the inside and outside joints closes that path.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wivelrod
Resealing frames is a short job: the visit takes most of a day for a typical house, less for a few frames. Wait for damp to appear and there may be plaster and decorating to sort out too. Around Wivelrod, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Why Wivelrod clients choose us
- Fully insured
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- We never seal over old sealant

When it is not the sealant
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not solve:
- Broken hinges, locks or handles
- Draughts through the window seals rather than the frame
- Rotten timber, which needs a joiner first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Patio & French doors
- Composite doors
- Timber windows & doors
- Aluminium frames
- uPVC windows
- Window sills
How the job changes by surface
Composite doors
Draughts round the door leaf normally come from worn seals or adjustment, not the mastic. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find.
Patio & French doors
Heavy door frames can move more than windows. A flexible sealant copes with that, where a rigid one would crack.
The process
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of frames, longer for a whole house. Somewhere as small as Wivelrod, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We apply a weatherproof sealant to match the frame and tool it neatly.
- Every joint is checked before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any water getting in

Related advice
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
