About our sand mastic in Hailey
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material blends with stone and brick surrounds. It suits period and listed homes, where modern sealant can look out of place. If you’re dealing with cracked mastic round a front door frame and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Hailey, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Frames and glazing around Hailey
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near St Margarets (Herts) station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Trinity, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. If you look after a building such as Roselands Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hailey
Cement-based fillers and modern sealants do not always suit a period surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hailey can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Hailey
- 12-month guarantee on every job

What else we do in Hailey
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Look at the mastic when you look over the windows. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
Can I do it myself?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere as small as Hailey, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
