How long does sand mastic take to go off?
The surface skins quite quickly and it hardens fully over a longer time. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Should I try DIY first?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.

Sand plus a binder based on linseed oil. It’s applied by hand and finished to sit neatly against the masonry.
Sand mastic in Elvetham
We work across Elvetham renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. We work on tenement windows, stone surrounds and period & listed homes, and common reasons people get in touch are draughty sash windows at the surround and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out.
Around Elvetham, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Common problems we fix in Elvetham
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not suit the joint, and they normally need raking out.

- Open joints round the window box
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint

How to look after the new joints
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
