Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Mimbridge
Sand mastic suits most period window surrounds. On modern frames we’d normally use a flexible sealant and we’ll explain which is best for yours. Typical jobs include window mastic to renew ahead of painting and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather, on sash and case windows, timber door frames and tenement windows.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in Mimbridge is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Windows and doors in Mimbridge
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Botleys Mansion (about 3.1 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Mimbridge has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
In the older streets around Church of St Lawrence, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame. For landlords with property near Woking station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

How we quote for sand mastic

What we are called out for in Mimbridge
Shallow joints are a common cause. Mastic that is too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Mastic round period door frames that has failed
Managing a site like Woking High School? Then its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement

What is sand mastic?
A traditional pointing material made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It forms a skin fairly soon and it hardens fully over a longer time. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Is it possible to paint over sand mastic?
Sand mastic is normally left unpainted, which is what traditional guidance recommends. Talk to us before any painting near it.
Do I need permission for sand mastic on a listed building?
Your local planning authority is the one to ask. They’ll tell you if consent is needed for work to your windows.
What guarantee comes with the work?
Our 12-month guarantee applies to all our work.
Is sand mastic better than silicone for my windows?
Sand mastic normally suits period timber windows best. On modern frames, we’d normally use a flexible sealant, and we will explain why.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
- Whether work needs listed building consent
- Damaged stone surrounds
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints for a typical job. In a small place like Mimbridge, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First we agree which joints need doing.
- Old mastic and any loose material are raked out.
- Deep gaps are packed so the mastic sits at the right depth.
- The sand mastic is mixed and pressed into the joint by hand.
- We dress the finish so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Leave it or put it right?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. In a small place like Mimbridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
