Sand mastic in Hambledon: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as St Dominic's School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Hambledon Church include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

How we handle sand mastic in Hambledon
A silicone bead around a sash window can look out of place and isn’t always the right material. Sand mastic gives a finish that matches the age of the house, and we can replace one with the other. If you have weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and mastic that needs renewing before redecorating, we can help, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Hambledon, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

Surface by surface
Brick reveals
We rake out the old mastic and pack deep voids before pointing.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When to call us in Hambledon
Timber frames move with the seasons. That movement opens up the mastic joint over time.
The most common problems we see are:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Open joints round the window box
If you let a flat or house near Witley station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Why deal with it now?
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice, which can matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hambledon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Hambledon, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
