About our sand mastic in Setley
Sand mastic is the traditional way to point the gap between a timber window frame and the stone or brick around it. It’s made from sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On period homes, it looks right where silicone wouldn’t. We are often asked to deal with window mastic to renew ahead of painting and draughty sash windows at the surround, across brick reveals, sash and case windows and tenement windows.
Somewhere as small as Setley, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Not every older frame suits a modern silicone bead, so the sealant has to be chosen to suit the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

When it is not the sealant
In fairness, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Putty and glazing repairs
- Damaged stone surrounds
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)

Sand mastic in Setley: local notes
London and the South East are among 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 Brockenhurst station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out. Managing a site like Brockenhurst Church of England Primary School? Then the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Plan mastic work ahead of painting
- Ask a joiner to look at soft timber first
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Check with your local planning authority if your home is listed
When preparing windows for paint, take care around the mastic. Hard scraping can loosen it.
An open joint round the box lets weather through. The longer it’s left, the more the joint opens.
Setley: your questions answered
Is Setley in your area for sand mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Setley is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Brockenhurst station. Can you help?

How long will you be here?
Typically it takes a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Should I check with the council before work on a listed or conservation-area home?
Checking first is sensible. Your local planning authority can say if consent is needed for work on a listed home or in a conservation area.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will tell you what we’re using.
Can sand mastic be painted?
It’s traditionally left unpainted, as guidance on traditional windows advises. Talk to us before any painting near it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Sash and case windows
The mastic round a sash window is on show so we finish it carefully.
Stone surrounds
Stone openings are rarely perfectly straight, so the joint varies in width. We shape it by hand to follow the stone.
How it works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Setley, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic is not too thick.
- The mastic is mixed, pressed into the joint by hand and shaped.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is, and we will explain how we’d tackle it. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Related advice
Do you need sand mastic in Setley?
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It hardens, cracks and starts to come away on the stone or timber.
The most common problems we see are:
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Old cement repairs round a window that have failed
- A silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look
If you live in an older home near Church of St Nicholas, frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
