Sand mastic in Little Ann
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder and built up by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. If you are dealing with failed mastic on an exposed elevation and gaps between timber frames and stone or brick, we can help, on sash and case windows, brick reveals and period & listed homes alike.
Around Little Ann, 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.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why act early in Little Ann
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Ann can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Why us?
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Homes, businesses and hotels
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
Frames and glazing around Little Ann
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Andover station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out. Schools such as Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside so we finish it carefully.
Brick reveals
Gaps between frame and brick let in rain and draughts. New mastic seals the gap.

Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward 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, so just mention it when you contact us.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Masonry that needs repairing
- Broken panes
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
