Sand Mastic in Beaulieu
Professional sand mastic in and around Beaulieu, with every bit of old sealant taken out first.
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
How we handle sand mastic in Beaulieu
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. We work on period & listed homes, tenement windows and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where the frame meets the masonry and mastic round period door frames that has failed.
Around Beaulieu, 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.

Windows and doors in Beaulieu
Beaulieu 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’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Beaulieu Road station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. In the older streets around Church of the Blessed Virgin and Child, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Sash and case windows
A sash window’s box frame sits in the masonry opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
How the visit works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several in most cases. Somewhere as small as Beaulieu, 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 the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access

What we are called out for in Beaulieu
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip from the frame or the masonry.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
Schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why act early in Beaulieu
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. Older cottages and farmhouses around Beaulieu can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Why book with us

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Timber that has rotted
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Do not touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.
