Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Iping
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Like-for-like sand mastic is often the preferred finish. If you are dealing with weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and window mastic to renew ahead of painting, we can put it right.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Iping is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Iping and everywhere else we cover.

Questions from Iping
Do you cover smaller places like Iping?
Yes, Iping is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
I let a flat near Liphook station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
When will the new mastic be hard?
The surface skins quite quickly and it hardens fully over a longer time. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Iping?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. If we need more, we will ask.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
It’s best to ask your local planning authority first. Sand mastic is often favoured as like for like but the decision is theirs.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Iping, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.

- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
How to prepare
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Signs you need sand mastic in Iping
Age is the main cause. Even well-laid mastic needs renewing in time and how long it lasts depends on the weather it faces.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- Mastic dropping out of the joint
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

What the job involves on each surface
Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. New mastic seals the gap.
Tenement and terrace windows
Upper-floor windows need access planning. Tell us the height and we’ll confirm what’s needed.
Sand mastic in Iping: local notes
Historic houses like Cowdray House (about 2.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Iping has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stedham Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

Leave it or put it right?
Before painting the windows, it pays to renew the mastic. Painting over failed mastic doesn’t seal it, and the new mastic is traditionally left unpainted. Around Iping, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
