How do I get a quote for sand mastic in East Meon?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
Should I use sand mastic or silicone?
Sand mastic normally suits period timber windows best. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
Normally, yes. Sealants come in white, clear, grey and other colours, and we agree the colour with you before any work starts.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll advise.
Common problems we fix in East Meon
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
The most common problems we see are:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Modern sealant on a period surround
Schools such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Small cracks are easier to deal with early.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
Different surfaces, different methods
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside, so a neat, even finish matters.
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. We renew it the same way as on windows.

What else we do in East Meon
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Landlord and commercial work in East Meon
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Paint over cracked mastic will not stop the gaps, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. In a small place like East Meon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.
