Sand mastic in Grayswood, done properly
Across Grayswood, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on tenement windows, timber door frames and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are old cement repairs round a window that have failed and cracked mastic round a front door frame.
Around Grayswood, 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If anything cracks, get it looked at rather than patching it.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.

What sand mastic looks like in Grayswood
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you let a flat or house near Haslemere station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Managing a site like Grayswood Church of England (Aided) Primary School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic matches what was there, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Around Grayswood, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
