Sand mastic in South Gorley
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditionally, sand mastic is left unpainted and we’ll advise if you’re redecorating. If you have open joints round the window box and a silicone bead on a sash window that spoils the look, we can put it right, on timber door frames, stone surrounds and sash and case windows alike.
Mastic can only go onto a dry, clean joint, so window work in South Gorley is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to every side of the house, including upper-floor windows.
Every job is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Hampshire.

Leave it or put it right?
Gaps round a sash window let in rain and draughts. Water can get to the frame and the masonry, so dealing with it now protects both. In a small place like South Gorley, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

When to call us in South Gorley
Some old mastic was never deep enough. Mastic that’s too thin cracks and drops out, which is why we pack deep voids first and get the depth right.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Mastic worn away on windows facing the weather
- Open joints round the window box
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
If you look after a building such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- What preparation is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Renew mastic before redecorating the windows
- Avoid patching sand mastic with silicone
- Ask us before painting near the mastic
- Find out about consent before window work on a listed home
Keep paint scrapers and sanders off the mastic when redecorating. It can be damaged by heavy scraping.
It’s best to renew mastic before painting the windows. Paint over cracked mastic only covers it up.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows, including the tidy-up. Somewhere like South Gorley needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, we look at the surrounds with you and agree what needs doing.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t 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.
Preparing for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will give you a quote.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.

Sand mastic in South Gorley: local notes
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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Ascension, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.
