Surface by surface
Window sills
The end joints of a sill tend to fail before the rest. A tight seal at each end keeps rain out of the wall.
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 mastic in Yaverland, done properly
Frames and walls don’t move together. Plastic and aluminium frames move with the temperature, while masonry stays fairly still. That’s why the joint needs a flexible, low-modulus sealant rather than something rigid. If you are dealing with a bead that doesn’t match the frame and gaps left after new windows were fitted, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Yaverland, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.

Why act early in Yaverland
Running fresh sealant over the old joint is tempting, but it will not grip old, dirty sealant. It soon lifts and the leak carries on behind it. The old mastic has to come out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Yaverland can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

Windows and doors in Yaverland
Yaverland is within about 1 mile of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on the mastic around window and door frames, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
If you look after a building such as The Bay Church of England School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Homes close to St John the Baptist Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep solvents and bleach off the sealant
- Repaint timber before it’s bare
- Wash the frames with mild soapy water
- Do not paint over the silicone
Wipe the frames with soapy water when you clean the windows, and avoid solvent cleaners on the sealant.
Water gets in quietly when mastic fails. Often the first sign is a damp patch inside or flaking paint on the reveal. Early resealing stops it reaching that point.
The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours for a few frames, or a day or more for a whole house. In a small place like Yaverland, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each frame is looked over and we agree which ones need resealing.
- We remove the old mastic and clean the frame edge and wall.
- Deep gaps get closed-cell backing rod to set the depth.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied in a colour to suit the frame.
- We tool each bead neatly and check every joint is closed.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Clear the area around the work

Advice
When to call us in Yaverland
Sun, frost and rain wear sealant out. Sunlight dries the surface out, and over the years it loses its give, cracks and comes away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Draughty joints inside around the window
- Gaps where the sill meets the wall
- Cold air getting in at the frame edge
- Water coming in at the bottom corners of a door
Rented homes near Brading station change hands often, and renewing tired window mastic between tenants heads off draught and damp complaints.

FAQs for Yaverland
Will you come out to Yaverland?
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.
Is window mastic in a coastal place like Yaverland any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
How many windows can you do in a day?
The work takes anything from an hour or two to a full day, depending on how many frames there are. Access and the amount of old mastic make the biggest difference.
What does window mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, because it fails. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for every job we do.
Should I try DIY first?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
