- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.

Sand mastic in Hinton Ampner, done properly
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on period & listed homes, stone surrounds and brick reveals, and the jobs we see most are mastic dropping out of the joint and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint.
Around Hinton Ampner, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Hinton Ampner and across Hampshire.

Landlord and commercial work in Hinton Ampner
Landlords and letting agents in Hinton Ampner can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. Several properties can be quoted together.
Surface by surface
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Tenement and terrace windows
Windows above ground floor need the right access. Tell us the height and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
What sand mastic looks like in Hinton Ampner
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. Historic houses like Hinton Ampner House (about 0.3 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Hinton Ampner has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
When to call us in Hinton Ampner
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. It’s often found when windows are being prepared for paint.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
Schools such as Cheriton Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What to look for in a quote
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
How we quote for sand mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any mould that needs treating
- The number and length of the joints
- The type of sealant required
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- If someone has resealed it before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
There’s no standard price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we cannot put right
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Cracked or broken glass
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Hinton Ampner?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a short description of the job.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
It depends on the window. Period windows in stone or brick generally suit sand mastic, while modern frames normally get a flexible sealant.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
