How the job changes by surface
Sash and case windows
Most of our sand mastic work is on sash windows. We renew the mastic round each box.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked and the mastic can crack early. It’s renewed by hand.
Sand mastic in Breamore, done properly
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. We work on timber door frames, stone surrounds and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are mastic round period door frames that has failed and draughty sash windows at the surround.
Homes in small places like Breamore often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Breamore and across Hampshire.

Signs you need sand mastic in Breamore
Shallow joints are a common cause. A thin layer does not hold well so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
If you look after a building such as Breamore Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. In a small place like Breamore, access is normally the main thing to plan. 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.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Questions from Breamore

Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Breamore is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Breamore?
Yes. Breamore is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do I have to be there?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Can sand mastic be painted?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Ask us before decorating.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What is sand mastic?
It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder. It’s built up in the joint by hand and shaped to suit the surround.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
That depends on your windows. On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building and newer frames normally get a flexible sealant.
Windows and doors in Breamore
Historic houses like Breamore House (about 1 mile north-west) are a reminder that the area around Breamore has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to St Boniface include some older properties, and the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
