Sand mastic in Peel Common
Burnt sand mastic is a traditional material that sits naturally against stone and brick. It suits period and listed homes where a modern sealant bead would stand out. We work on timber door frames, period & listed homes and sash and case windows, and the jobs we see most are draughty sash windows at the surround and old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out.
Somewhere as small as Peel Common, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these do not always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Peel Common and across Hampshire.

Signs you need sand mastic in Peel Common
Decorating can disturb tired mastic. Many people find it crumbling when they prepare the windows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Gaps between timber frames and stone or brick
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
In the older streets around Peel Common Mission Church, the joint between an old wall and a newer frame is usually the first place rain gets in.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and agents in Peel Common can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it generally takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere as small as Peel Common, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We check each window surround and the condition of the joint.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- New sand mastic is applied and shaped by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Advice
What sand mastic looks like in Peel Common
Peel Common is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on the mastic around older windows and doors, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Fareham station change hands often, and cracked sand mastic around sash windows lets in the draughts tenants complain about. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Peel Common Junior School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Peel Common questions
Does living near the coast affect sand mastic in Peel Common?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so preparation and the right sealant matter all the more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Fareham station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, and we are fully insured.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
How much does sand mastic cost in Peel Common?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
How long does sand mastic take to harden?
It takes a while. It skins first and hardens fully later, and we’ll tell you what to expect.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.
Leave it or put it right?
New mastic over crumbling mastic won’t hold. Raking out and preparing the joint gives it a sound base so the new work lasts. In a small place like Peel Common, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first.
