How we handle sand mastic in Little Horsted
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, applied by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. Typical jobs include mastic that needs renewing before redecorating and cracked mastic round a front door frame, across tenement windows, brick reveals and timber door frames.
In a village or hamlet like Little Horsted, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little Horsted
New sash windows are a major, costly change, and in listed buildings it may need consent. If the frames are sound, renewing the mastic deals with gaps and draughts at the surround. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Horsted, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Don’t run silicone over sand mastic
Avoid painting over the new mastic, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
On a sash window, the mastic joint shows on the outside, so a neat, even finish matters.
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked, so their mastic can fail sooner. It’s renewed by hand.
