Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Godshill
Silicone on a period window often looks wrong and does not suit the building. Sand mastic is the traditional choice, and we can replace one with the other. Common call-outs are for window mastic to renew ahead of painting and draughty sash windows at the surround, on brick reveals, sash and case windows and timber door frames.
Around Godshill, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Godshill, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What the job involves on each surface

Sand mastic in Godshill: local notes
With historic houses such as Sheat Manor (about 2.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Godshill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. 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.
Managing a site like Godshill Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. If you live in an older home near All Saints' Church, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Landlord and commercial work in Godshill
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Why deal with it now?
If you’re redecorating, renew the mastic first. Painting over failed mastic does not seal it and traditional guidance is to leave the new mastic unpainted. Around Godshill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How we quote for sand mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Access and height
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Asking for a quote
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracked or broken glass
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Masonry that needs repairing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
