Sand mastic in Itchen Stoke
Traditional burnt sand mastic that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. Typical jobs include old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and wind and rain getting in round a sash window, on sash and case windows, timber door frames and stone surrounds.
Homes in small places like Itchen Stoke often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Leave it or put it right?
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new mastic stays put. Around Itchen Stoke, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

- Decisions on consent for listed homes

For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again.
Frames and glazing around Itchen Stoke
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Hinton Ampner House (about 4 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Itchen Stoke has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that is traditional sand mastic.
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is normally the first place rain gets in. Managing a site like Perins School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
