Sand mastic for sash & case windows in Nutcombe, Surrey
Our applicators work in Nutcombe on traditional burnt sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors in stone and brick. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
- Mastic that needs renewing before redecorating
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
Don’t touch or press the mastic while it hardens. It skins over quickly but needs longer to fully harden.
Gaps round a sash box let in draughts and rain. Left, the gap tends to get bigger.
How we handle sand mastic in Nutcombe
Our applicators renew the sand mastic around sash and case windows and doors set in stone or brick. The old mastic is raked out, and new mastic is applied and shaped by hand. Common call-outs are for weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and modern sealant on a period surround, across timber door frames, period & listed homes and sash and case windows.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around Nutcombe is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Do you need sand mastic in Nutcombe?
Timber frames move with the seasons. The movement cracks the mastic over time.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Luke, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What to look for in a quote
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What product goes in the joint
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. In a small place like Nutcombe, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each surround is checked first.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

What happens if it’s left?
New mastic over crumbling mastic will not hold. We remove the loose material first so the new mastic stays put. Around Nutcombe, 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 hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- 12-month guarantee on every job
- Neat joints and a tidy finish
- More than 20 years in sealant work

FAQs for Nutcombe
Is Nutcombe in your area for sand mastic?

What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do the sealants smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Ventilation helps.
What exactly is sand mastic?
It’s sand mixed with a linseed-oil-based binder for the joint between timber frames and masonry.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Do you offer different sealant colours?
In most cases you can choose. We’ll explain which colours are available and agree one before work begins.
Frames and glazing around Nutcombe
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.
If you look after a building such as Amesbury School, larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages. For landlords with property near Haslemere station, cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about.
