- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises

Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you’re ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Sand mastic in Droxford, done properly
We work across Droxford renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you have patchy fillers round a sash window and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, we can put it right.
Homes in small places like Droxford 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.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Windows and doors in Droxford
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Droxford Junior School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary and All Saints, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. Somewhere like Droxford needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Preparing for the visit

- Move anything stored near the joints

Advice
When something else is needed
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
What we seal
- Stone surrounds
- Sash and case windows
- Brick reveals
- Tenement windows
- Timber door frames
- Period & listed homes
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger as more mastic falls out.
Droxford: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Droxford?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What guarantee comes with sand mastic in Droxford?
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it possible to take out silicone and use sand mastic instead?
Yes, it’s a common request. The old silicone has to come out completely so the mastic can sit properly.
How much does sand mastic cost in Droxford?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is usually more efficient.
What sealant do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before any work starts.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Why act early in Droxford
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic will not stop the gaps and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Droxford, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Tidy, careful work
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
