Specialist sand mastic for Quidhampton: the right sealant, proper preparation and a neat finish. Ask us for a quick quote.
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Take care around the mastic when scraping paint
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. Hard scraping can loosen it.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
Sand mastic in Quidhampton, done properly
Sand mastic does not last for ever, leaving gaps round the window. Renewing it closes the gap and tidies the surround. Common call-outs are for patchy fillers round a sash window and silicone on a period window that looks wrong, on sash and case windows, period & listed homes and tenement windows.
Homes in small places like Quidhampton 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.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Quidhampton and everywhere else we cover.

Quidhampton homes and 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.
Schools such as Overton Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Overton station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.

What the job involves on each surface
Sash and case windows
The box of a sash and case window sits in the stone or brick opening. Sand mastic seals the joint round it.
Period and listed homes
Materials matter on listed and conservation-area homes. Like-for-like sand mastic is usually favoured.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work starts. The work usually takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In a small place like Quidhampton, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- We fill deep gaps so the new mastic is not too thick.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- The finish is dressed neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Why act early in Quidhampton
An open joint round the frame lets weather in. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In a small place like Quidhampton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
