Sand mastic in Foulford
We work across Foulford renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Every joint is cleaned out and filled by hand, finished to suit the masonry. If you are dealing with gaps between timber frames and stone or brick and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, we can put it right, on stone surrounds, sash and case windows and timber door frames alike.
Homes in small places like Foulford often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

What happens if it’s left?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Older cottages and farmhouses around Foulford can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Foulford clients choose us
- Full insurance on every job
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- One-year guarantee on every job

Sand mastic in Foulford: local notes
With historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House (about 3.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Foulford as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Ringwood School Academy, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Make sure water runs off the sill
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.

Signs you need sand mastic in Foulford
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time, depending on exposure and upkeep.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
In the older streets around St John the Baptist, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
