About our sand mastic in Denmead
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and does not suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice and we can swap the silicone for it. We work on sash and case windows, brick reveals and period & listed homes, and the jobs we see most are cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked and open joints round the window box.
Around Denmead, conservatories, garden rooms and patio doors are often part of the house. Their glazing joints and frame seals are as much a part of the job as the windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside, so a neat, even finish matters.

Sand mastic in Denmead: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Rented homes near Cosham station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Well-known places in the area include Queen Alexandra Hospital (3.5 miles south) and Portchester Castle (4.9 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Portsdown Hill and St Clair's Meadow.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.

Other services in Denmead
Do you need sand mastic in Denmead?
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They don’t move with the timber, and they usually need raking out.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
Managing a site like Denmead Junior School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Leave it or put it right?
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic suits the building and finishes neatly against the masonry. In a smaller place like Denmead, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
