Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Further Quarter
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon but full hardening takes longer. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted, so ask us before you decorate. If you are dealing with old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, we can put it right.
Homes in small places like Further Quarter 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, in Further Quarter and everywhere else we cover.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon but needs longer to fully harden.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.
What sand mastic looks like in Further Quarter

Leave it or put it right?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. In a small place like Further Quarter, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
