DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
About our sand mastic in Barnsole
Sand mastic does not last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap so the surround looks right again. If you have cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, we can help.
Around Barnsole, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:

What happens if it’s left?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. Older cottages and farmhouses around Barnsole can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

Frames and glazing around Barnsole
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Barnsole as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St James, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

Keeping the joints in good condition

- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
