Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Look over the window mastic once a year
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Belbins
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and timber door frames, and people most often call us about failed mastic on an exposed elevation and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating.
Around Belbins, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Belbins as everywhere else we work.

Windows and doors in Belbins
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Mottisfont Abbey (about 2.7 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Belbins as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
For landlords with property near Romsey station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Andrew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.

We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.

- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.

Related advice
Do you need sand mastic in Belbins?
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Look out for these signs:
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
Managing a site like Cupernham Junior School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Other services in Belbins
Leave it or put it right?
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in, and renewing the mastic closes them. Around Belbins, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and send you a clear quote before any work starts.
