How we handle sand mastic in Durley
Across Durley, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. Typical jobs include a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and brick reveals.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Durley is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Your questions about sand mastic in Durley
Do you cover Durley for sand mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Durley is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Hedge End station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will the old sealant be removed?

Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can I choose the sealant colour?
Most of the time, yes. We will tell you which colours the right product comes in and agree one before we start.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.

Common problems we fix in Durley
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Cross, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
Before you book anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether you can choose the colour
Quotes for sand mastic in Durley
You’ll get a clear quote before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The number and length of the joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear price for the lot.

What sealant work cannot fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:

- Decayed frames that need repair
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Durley homes and the weather
With historic houses such as South Stoneham House (about 5 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Durley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Hedge End station? Then any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. If you look after a building such as Durley Church of England Controlled Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

The process
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. For a village or hamlet like Durley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry so renewing it early protects the window. In a small place like Durley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
We do not show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
