What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. A visit to Lower Bourne is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We check the window surrounds and agree which joints need renewing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- We mix the sand mastic and apply it by hand, shaping it to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us about any water getting in
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Sand mastic in Lower Bourne
On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we will explain which is best for yours. We work on timber door frames, brick reveals and period & listed homes, and people most often call us about failed mastic on an exposed elevation and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out.
Houses in smaller places like Lower Bourne can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town. The mastic around frames on those walls tends to age faster.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Lower Bourne and across Surrey.

Common problems we fix in Lower Bourne
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
Look out for any of the following:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
For landlords with property near Farnham station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Sand mastic in Lower Bourne: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Farnham Castle (about 1.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Lower Bourne 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.
If you live in an older home near St Martin by the Green, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is generally the first place rain gets in. Schools such as Farnham College are buildings too, and larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

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 shaped to suit the surround.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It takes a while. The skin forms first, and the full set comes later, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
Why deal with it now?
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Left, water can reach the timber and the wall, so dealing with it now protects both. In a smaller place like Lower Bourne, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Do not run silicone over sand mastic
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Make sure water runs off the sill
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If you see a crack, ask us to take a look before trying a quick fix.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
