Your questions about sand mastic in Mattingley
I let a flat near Hook station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like Mattingley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
What is sand mastic?
Sand mastic is a traditional material for pointing round windows and doors. It’s made with sand and a linseed-oil-based binder.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
The surface skins quite quickly and it hardens fully over a longer time. The weather and joint depth both affect it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you do not need to watch us work.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Mattingley
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and brick reveals, and the jobs we see most are modern sealant on a period surround and open joints round the window box.
In a village or hamlet like Mattingley, older cottages and farmhouses often have timber windows set in stone or brick. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How we quote for sand mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required
- How much there is to do
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email pictures if that is easy.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll give you a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In a small place like Mattingley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will talk you through it.

Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Check the mastic when you check the paintwork
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
Good mastic helps keep the frame dry. Failed mastic lets water reach the timber and timber that stays wet can rot.
How the job changes by surface
Timber door frames
Sand mastic is used round timber door frames too. We renew it the same way as on windows.
Period and listed homes
A traditional finish suits a period property.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several from start to finish. Somewhere like Mattingley needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- We pack any deep gaps so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
Getting a quote
Getting a quote is simple: tell us what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Advice
Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Windows and doors in Mattingley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Stratfield Saye House (about 3.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Mattingley as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
If you live in an older home near Mattingley Church, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Hook station, older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.
