About our sand mastic in Luccombe Village
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. If you’re dealing with gaps where the frame meets the masonry and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, we can help, whatever the surface.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Luccombe Village is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Luccombe Village and everywhere else we cover.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round a sash window aren’t always the sashes. Open mastic joints round the box can let air in and new mastic seals them. Around Luccombe Village, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Door frames get knocked and soaked and the mastic can crack early. We rake it out and renew it.
Brick reveals
An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. New mastic seals the gap.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several. Somewhere like Luccombe Village needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.

- Tell us about any water getting in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Frames and glazing around Luccombe Village
Luccombe Village is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as St Blasius Shanklin CofE Primary Academy are buildings too, and its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s. If you let a flat or house near Shanklin station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. For an older house near a landmark such as St Blasius Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Get any rot dealt with first
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. That water can reach the timber frame and the wall, so renewing it early is worth it.
What affects the cost of sand mastic
You will get a clear quote before we start. It’s based on:
- Whether the work is at height
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Luccombe Village: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Luccombe Village?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is sand mastic in a coastal place like Luccombe Village any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Is it worth trying it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first.
