Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Grayshott
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It’s a good fit for period properties, where modern sealant can look out of place. Typical jobs include mastic dropping out of the joint and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, across tenement windows, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Houses in smaller places like Grayshott can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several, depending on the size of the job. For a job in Grayshott, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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 mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What sealant do you use?

What’s sand mastic made of?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It combines sand with a linseed-oil-based binder.
How much does sand mastic cost in Grayshott?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote.
Where is Mr Mastic based?

Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Can I paint the new mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
How we quote for sand mastic

Why act early in Grayshott
A silicone bead can be quicker, but on period stone or brick it often looks out of place. Sand mastic is the traditional material and blends with the stone or brick. In an older home around Grayshott, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Tidy, careful work
- More than 20 years in sealant work

Sand mastic in Grayshott: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Grayshott Church of England Controlled Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. In the older streets around Church of St Luke, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. If you let a flat or house near Haslemere station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
Do not run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
What sealant work cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Timber that has rotted
- Sashes that rattle, stick or will not open
- Crumbling stone or brickwork round the window
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
