Sand mastic for homes and businesses in Noke Common
Across Noke Common, we renew sand mastic around sash and case windows. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand, finished to suit the masonry. Typical jobs include gaps where the frame meets the masonry and failed mastic on an exposed elevation, on stone surrounds, brick reveals and period & listed homes.
Homes in small places like Noke Common often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. Exposed frames and sills lose their mastic sooner than sheltered ones.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What happens if it’s left?
Filling over old, loose mastic doesn’t last. We remove the loose material first so the new work lasts. Around Noke Common, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.

What sand mastic looks like in Noke Common
Noke Common 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’s hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, especially on the side facing the sea. With historic houses such as Carisbrooke Castle (about 2.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Noke Common as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older frames set in brick or stone need a sealant that suits them, and sometimes that’s traditional sand mastic.
In the older streets around Church of St. John the Baptist, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.

Signs you need sand mastic in Noke Common
Sand mastic slowly weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Silicone on a period window that looks wrong
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
If you look after a building such as Hunnyhill Primary School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.
What to look for in a quote
- How the colour is chosen
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
