About our sand mastic in Furzey Lodge
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. If you have mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and cracked mastic round a front door frame, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Furzey Lodge, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

Sand mastic in Furzey Lodge: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Beaulieu Palace House (about 1.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Furzey Lodge has older buildings as well as new. 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.

Historic houses such as Beaulieu Palace House, about 1.2 miles east, show how far back building around Furzey Lodge goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints for a typical job. Somewhere like Furzey Lodge needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Older cottages and farmhouses around Furzey Lodge can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Signs you need sand mastic in Furzey Lodge
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
Schools such as Beaulieu Village Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Is VAT in the price?
What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside so we finish it carefully.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
