Frames and glazing around Ibsley
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.
In the older streets around Church of St Martins, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Ibsley
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. Typical jobs include tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, on tenement windows, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Around Ibsley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
What we’re called out for in Ibsley
Age is the main cause. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
In and around Ibsley, as anywhere, good sand mastic starts with a clean, dry, properly prepared joint.
Questions to ask before you book

What affects the cost of sand mastic
We do not publish a price list. What we look at:
- Which sealant suits the joint

- Any mould that needs treating

The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What the job involves on each surface
Timber door frames
Round a period front door, sand mastic gives the right look.
Brick reveals
Gaps between frame and brick let in rain and draughts. Renewing the mastic closes it.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
- Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens as more mastic falls out.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows for a typical job. Somewhere like Ibsley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
