Sand mastic in Shobley, done properly
We work across Shobley renewing sand mastic on sash windows and doors. Each joint is raked out, prepared and pointed by hand for a neat, traditional finish. We work on sash and case windows, timber door frames and brick reveals, and common reasons people get in touch are weathered mastic on the most exposed windows and cement or filler used on old window joints that has cracked.
Homes in small places like Shobley often stand in the open, with little to shelter their windows from wind and rain. That exposure dries out and cracks the mastic around frames and sills faster.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you are not left on your own once the job is done.

When it isn’t the sealant
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Sashes that rattle, stick or won’t open
- Decisions on consent for listed homes
- Rotten sashes, sills or window boxes (a joiner’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What we are called out for in Shobley
Water gets into small cracks in the mastic and pushes it out. Windows facing the weather tend to go first.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Tired mastic found when preparing windows for paint
- Patchy fillers round a sash window
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Draughty sash windows at the surround
In the older streets around St John the Baptist, the windows may be timber, sash or later replacements, and each needs the right sealant against the wall.
What your quote should include
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether VAT is included
- How the colour is chosen

Landlord and commercial work in Shobley
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Keep sills and gutters clear so water drains away
- Look over the window mastic once a year
- Have rotten timber repaired before new mastic goes in
- Ask the planning authority about consent for listed or conservation-area homes
Don’t run silicone over the new mastic. If anything cracks, get it looked at before trying a quick fix.
Fine cracks show the mastic is starting to fail. It’s easier to renew it before it drops out.
The process
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. In a small place like Shobley, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each surround is checked first.
- The joint is raked out and cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out.
- We point the joint with sand mastic by hand.
- We finish the mastic to a tidy line.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Advice
What affects the quote in Shobley
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- The size of the job
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Tell us what’s wrong, where it is and how much there is. Whenever you’re ready, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Different surfaces, different methods
Stone surrounds
We take care not to mark the stone while raking out the old mastic.
Period and listed homes
Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice for many period homes. On listed buildings, check with your planning authority first.
What sand mastic looks like in Shobley
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Avon Tyrrell House (about 3.9 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Shobley as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older timber frames in brick or stone need a different approach from a modern uPVC window.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Poulner Infant School, its window and door frames need their mastic kept sound, just like a home’s.

FAQs for Shobley
Is sand mastic in Shobley guaranteed?
All our work, in Shobley and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Shobley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How do I get a quote for sand mastic in Shobley?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Can you match the sealant colour?
We’ll suggest a colour to suit the surroundings, from white and clear to greys and other shades. The choice depends on the product the joint needs.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. We will tell you when we quote.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
