Sand mastic in Hurst
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. If you are dealing with mastic worn away on windows facing the weather and tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint, we can put it right, on sash and case windows, stone surrounds and brick reveals alike.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Hurst is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Hurst and everywhere else we cover.

Is Hurst within the area you cover?

Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can landlords and businesses book you?

Will there be a smell?

Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Don’t paint over the new mastic
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.
What affects the quote in Hurst
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- When we can work, for business premises

Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
