Signs you need sand mastic in Little London
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out so we make sure the new mastic is the right thickness.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.
What your quote should include
- The length of the guarantee
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Little London

Sand mastic in Little London: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Christ Church include some older properties, and replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint. Rented homes near Andover station change hands often, and any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

Why it’s worth doing now in Little London
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. Around Little London, older homes often have timber in their 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. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. 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. For a village or hamlet like Little London, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Once it fails, water can sit against the timber, which can lead to rot.
