Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Funtley
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. If you have weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, we can put it right, on sash and case windows, timber door frames and brick reveals alike.
Homes in small places like Funtley 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 of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Common problems we fix in Funtley
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They do not suit the joint, and they usually need raking out.
The most common problems we see are:
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
If you live in an older home near Church of St Francis, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Is VAT in the price?
- Are they insured?
- How long to leave it before use
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Why act early in Funtley
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Funtley, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Common questions in Funtley
Do you cover smaller places like Funtley?
Yes, Funtley is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Does the coastal weather in Funtley affect outside sealant?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
What’s sand mastic made of?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, used between timber frames and stone or brick.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status, and we are fully insured.
When will the new mastic be hard?
The surface skins quite quickly, then hardens over a longer period. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
What guarantee comes with the work?
You get our one-year guarantee on every job.
Can you match the sealant colour?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll tell you which colours the right product comes in.

Sand mastic in Funtley: local notes
Funtley is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
Schools such as Orchard Lea Infant School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Fareham station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
