About our sand mastic in Eversley Cross
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames generally get a flexible sealant instead, and we’ll talk through which suits your home. If you have window mastic to renew ahead of painting and draughts and rain around sash boxes, we can help, whatever the surface.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Eversley Cross is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like Eversley Cross, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Mention any parking rules near the property

What is sand mastic?
It’s sand mixed with a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and we will quote it together.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Check with your local planning authority. They’ll tell you if consent is needed for work to your windows.
Do you have insurance?

Do you need sand mastic in Eversley Cross?
Scraping and sanding before painting can loosen old mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint, which is a good time to renew it.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in.

Sand mastic in Eversley Cross: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. Letting a property close to Crowthorne station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Which sealant suits the joint
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.
