About our sand mastic in Liphook
Sand mastic does not last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. Typical jobs include a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look and draughty sash windows at the surround, across sash and case windows, timber door frames and stone surrounds.
Houses in smaller places like Liphook can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed windows and doors face the weather head on. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Questions from Liphook
Will you come out to Liphook?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Liphook station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you guarantee sand mastic work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
What exactly is sand mastic?
It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder. It’s built up in the joint by hand and finished to sit neatly against the masonry.
What does sand mastic cost?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
For period timber windows in stone or brick, sand mastic is often the better fit. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we’ll explain why.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Avoid sealing over the mastic with silicone. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look rather than patching it.
Crumbling mastic lets rain into the joint. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing sash windows is a big decision for a period home, and in listed buildings it may need consent. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In a smaller place like Liphook, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Liphook homes and the weather
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.
Homes close to St Mary's Church Centre include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. For landlords with property near Liphook station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

Signs you need sand mastic in Liphook
Most of it is simply age. Sand mastic is a maintenance item like any pointing, depending on exposure and upkeep.
The most common problems we see are:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
If you look after a building such as Bohunt School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Parking around Liphook is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
