About our sand mastic in Ludgershall
If your home is listed or in a conservation area, check with your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We work on timber door frames, tenement windows and brick reveals, and the jobs we see most are mastic dropping out of the joint and open joints round the window box.
Many houses in smaller places like Ludgershall have conservatories, garden rooms or patio doors. Those joints need the same attention as the main windows, and any older timber or sash windows need a sealant that suits them.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the size of the job. A visit to Ludgershall 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 look at the surrounds with you and agree the joints to renew.
- We remove the old, loose mastic.
- We pack any deep voids first.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Common problems we fix in Ludgershall
Timber swells and shrinks with the weather. The movement cracks the mastic over time.
Look out for any of the following:
- Cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Modern sealant on a period surround
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Get any rot dealt with first
Make sure water drains away from the window surround. Constant wetting wears the mastic faster.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.
