Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Linkhill
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. If you’re dealing with old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Linkhill, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.

How the job changes by surface
Tenement and terrace windows
Rows of sash windows on tenements and terraces often need renewing together. We work on single windows or whole elevations.
Brick reveals
Sand mastic is also used where timber frames meet brick. It gives a traditional finish.
The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Linkhill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
Why act early in Linkhill
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall so renewing it early protects the window. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Linkhill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Doing several joints on one visit is normally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Why us?
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
- Full insurance on every job
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- 20+ years of sealant experience
Frames and glazing around Linkhill
Historic houses like Great Dixter (about 1.8 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Linkhill has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to Mission Church include some older properties, and the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall. Schools such as Sandhurst Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Can I do it myself?
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.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
