Lower Froyle Sand Mastic
Problem with your window and door surrounds in Lower Froyle? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
- Gaps where the frame meets the masonry
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
How we handle sand mastic in Lower Froyle
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority whether consent is needed for work to windows. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We work on brick reveals, period & listed homes and stone surrounds, and people most often call us about silicone on a period window that looks wrong and draughty sash windows at the surround.
Somewhere as small as Lower Froyle, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Common questions in Lower Froyle
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Bentley (Hampshire) station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you do sand mastic in Lower Froyle?
Yes, Lower Froyle is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you leave a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
Sand mastic normally suits period timber windows best. Modern frames normally suit a flexible sealant, and we will explain why.
Can sand mastic be painted?
The usual advice is to leave sand mastic unpainted. If you are redecorating the window, ask us first and we’ll talk you through it.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
What affects the cost of sand mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
We do not show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will talk you through it.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Period and listed homes
On a listed home or in a conservation area, the right material matters. Sand mastic is often the preferred finish.
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
- Do not paint over the new mastic
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
Keep gutters and sills clear so water runs away from the surround. Water sitting against the mastic shortens its life.
Renewing mastic before redecorating saves doing it twice. Painting over failed mastic hides the problem for a while.
Windows and doors in Lower Froyle
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Bentley (Hampshire) station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.

If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

What we’re called out for in Lower Froyle
Timber frames move with the seasons. The movement cracks the mastic little by little.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Failed mastic on an exposed elevation
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary of the Assumption, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How long to leave it before use
- Who turns up on the day
