Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Minley
Fresh sand mastic forms a skin quite soon, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we will advise if you are redecorating. We work on stone surrounds, timber door frames and sash and case windows, and common reasons people get in touch are modern sealant on a period surround and weathered mastic on the most exposed windows.
Around Minley, many homes face open ground, so their windows and doors take the full weather. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a single window, longer for several. For a village or hamlet like Minley, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We apply the mastic by hand and shape it.
- The surface is finished to suit the stone or brick.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Clear the area around the work

What sand mastic looks like in Minley
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in. If you look after a building such as Frogmore Community College, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. Letting a property close to Fleet station? Then older sash windows in a rental need their mastic kept sound to keep the weather out.

Can I choose the sealant colour?
We help you choose a colour that suits. The product needed can limit the range.
Can sand mastic be painted?
Traditional guidance is not to paint over sand mastic. Ask us before you decorate around it and we’ll talk you through it.
Which is right for my windows, sand mastic or modern sealant?
It depends on the window. On many period windows, sand mastic looks right and suits the building, while modern frames normally get a flexible sealant.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
Not straight away. It skins first and hardens fully later and we will give you an idea for your job.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Inspect the joints round the windows every year or so
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Can I do it myself?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the 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.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
