About our sand mastic in Hartley Wespall
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we will advise if you are redecorating. If you are dealing with mastic round period door frames that has failed and draughty sash windows at the surround, we can help, on period & listed homes, timber door frames and sash and case windows alike.
Around Hartley Wespall, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hartley Wespall as everywhere else we work.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hartley Wespall
Not every draught comes from the sashes themselves. Gaps between the frame and the wall can be just as bad and new mastic seals them. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hartley Wespall, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
