How we handle sand mastic in Stoke Charity
For a listed home or one in a conservation area, ask your local planning authority if consent is needed before window work. Sand mastic is often favoured as a like-for-like material. We work on timber door frames, stone surrounds and period & listed homes, and the jobs we see most are patchy fillers round a sash window and mastic worn away on windows facing the weather.
Somewhere as small as Stoke Charity, older homes often have timber frames set in stone or brickwork. Older buildings like these don’t always suit modern silicone, and sometimes a traditional sand mastic is the better choice.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

How the job changes by surface
Brick reveals
Loose mastic comes out and deep gaps are packed before the new mastic goes in.
Timber door frames
Period doors in stone or brick openings are often pointed with sand mastic. We renew it the same way as on windows.
What happens on the day
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take a few hours per window, depending on the condition of the joints. Somewhere like Stoke Charity 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.
- We start by checking each surround and agreeing the joints to renew.
- Old, loose mastic is raked out and the joint cleaned.
- Large voids are packed out first, so the mastic isn’t too thick.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- The mastic is finished to sit tidily against the stone or brick.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any tricky access
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Do you need sand mastic in Stoke Charity?
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They don’t suit the joint and we normally remove them.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Modern sealant on a period surround
- Open joints round the window box
- Draughts and rain around sash boxes
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
In the older streets around Church of St Michael, replacement windows fitted into old openings often leave uneven gaps that need backing and a flexible joint.

Quotes for sand mastic in Stoke Charity
Your quote is based on your job. We take into account:
- Access and height
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- The type of property
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- The rough size of the job
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Clear gutters so water doesn’t pour onto the windows
- Keep modern sealant off the mastic
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Do not paint over the new mastic
Check the mastic when you check the paintwork. Catching cracks early keeps repairs small.
Small cracks are a sign the mastic is ageing. Renewing it then is simpler than waiting until it falls out.

Do you work for landlords with property near Micheldever station?

Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it does not work out, we can redo it.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes anything from a few hours to a full day, depending on how many windows. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
