Sand mastic in Bramshott, done properly
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. Typical jobs include modern sealant on a period surround and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, on sash and case windows, timber door frames and stone surrounds.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Bramshott is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Should I try it myself first?
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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bramshott can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What we are called out for in Bramshott
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away from the frame or the masonry.
The problems people generally mention when they call include:
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Modern sealant on a period surround
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
