How we handle sand mastic in Froyle
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. Newer frames normally get a flexible sealant instead and we’ll explain which is best for yours. Typical jobs include tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and modern sealant on a period surround, across stone surrounds, period & listed homes and tenement windows.
Somewhere as small as Froyle, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Checking first is sensible. Ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What exactly is sand mastic?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you’ll get one quote.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Froyle.
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Why act early in Froyle
Silicone might seem the quicker option, but it can look wrong on a period surround. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Froyle, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Do you need sand mastic in Froyle?
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Look out for these signs:
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
If you let a flat or house near Bentley (Hampshire) station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Windows and doors in Froyle
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary of the Assumption, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
