Sand mastic near Netley Marsh

Sand mastic in Netley Marsh, done properly

We renew sand mastic around sash windows and doors in stone and brick. The old mastic is raked out, the joint is prepared and new mastic is shaped by hand. Common call-outs are for weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and patchy fillers round a sash window, across brick reveals, timber door frames and sash and case windows.

Around Netley Marsh, 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.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Netley Marsh and across Hampshire.

Windows and doors in Netley Marsh

Netley Marsh is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That is hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.

If you let a flat or house near Ashurst New Forest station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Netley Marsh Church of England Infant School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. In the older streets around Church of St Matthew, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Avoid heavy scraping on the mastic joint
  • Clear gutters so water does not pour onto the windows
  • Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
  • Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes

Leave the new mastic unpainted, as traditional guidance advises. Ask us before any decorating around it.

Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry, so renewing it early is worth it.

Quotes for sand mastic in Netley Marsh

Your quote is based on your job. We look at:

  • How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
  • Whether there’s mould to deal with
  • How many areas need sealing
  • The product the joint needs

The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What we need to know

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

  • How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
  • Any previous sealing or DIY work
  • Photos by email, if that’s easy
  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

We quote each job on its own. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details.

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The visit itself usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the amount of work. In a small place like Netley Marsh, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.

  1. We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
  2. The loose and crumbling mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
  3. Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
  4. Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
  5. The finish is dressed so it sits neatly against the stone or brick.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any tricky access
  • Move anything stored near the joints
  • Tell us about any water getting in

Brick reveals

An open joint at a brick reveal lets weather in. Renewing the mastic closes it.

Tenement and terrace windows

Windows above ground floor need the right access. Let us know the floor and we’ll confirm access.

DIY versus a professional finish

Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
