Sand mastic in Eversley, done properly
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. If you’re dealing with open joints round the window box and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Eversley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Let us know the floor and we will confirm access.
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside so we finish it carefully.
What sand mastic looks like in Eversley
With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (about 4.7 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Eversley as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Charles Kingsley's Church of England Primary School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
How long will you be here?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. We will tell you when we quote.
Can old silicone round a sash window be swapped for sand mastic?
Yes. We remove the silicone and clean the joint, then point it with sand mastic.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Speak to your local planning authority before work starts. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like, but they decide.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Can I paint the new mastic?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. If you’re redecorating the window, ask us first and we’ll talk you through it.

What happens on the day
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Eversley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
How to get a quote
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work and give you a clear price.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
