Sand mastic in Drayton
Across Drayton, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on brick reveals, timber door frames and sash and case windows, and people most often call us about draughty sash windows at the surround and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather.
Around Drayton, 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.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant will not put right:
- Sash cords, weights and draught-proofing of the sashes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Planning or listed building consent (your local planning authority decides)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surface by surface
Timber door frames
Doors face weather and wear, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We can do one window or several.
Frames and glazing around Drayton
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of All Saints, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. For landlords with property near Petersfield station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Drayton
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Drayton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a village or hamlet like Drayton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Drayton questions
Is Drayton within the area you cover?
Yes. Drayton 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.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Petersfield station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we will explain why.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Often, yes. With the silicone removed and the joint cleaned, sand mastic is applied by hand.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will tell you how long to expect.
