About our sand mastic in The Hangers
Sand mastic has long been used to fill the joint between timber frames and masonry. It’s a mix of sand and a linseed-oil-based binder, applied by hand. On older homes, it suits the building far better than silicone. We work on period & listed homes, sash and case windows and stone surrounds, and people most often call us about cracked mastic round a front door frame and open joints round the window box.
Outdoor sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work on frames around The Hangers is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to all the frames, upstairs ones included.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

The Hangers homes and the weather
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Botley station, any sash windows need sound mastic to keep draughts and rain out.

How it works
There’s no need to move everything out, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the job takes a few hours for a single window, longer for several for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like The Hangers, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- We rake out the old mastic and clean the joint.
- Deep voids are packed so the mastic is the right thickness.
- Sand mastic is mixed and applied by hand, then shaped to the joint.
- We dress the surface so it sits neatly against the masonry.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Signs you need sand mastic in The Hangers
Over the years, sand mastic weathers. It dries out, cracks and loses its grip on the stone or timber.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Old sand mastic that has cracked, crumbled or fallen out
- Weathered mastic on the most exposed windows
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Cracked mastic round a front door frame
Managing a site like Bishops Waltham Infant School? Then larger buildings have plenty of frames, and the mastic around each one ages.

Keeping the joints in good condition
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Sort the mastic before the decorators arrive
- Go gently near the mastic when preparing windows
- Leave the new mastic unpainted
- Get any rot dealt with first
Leave the new mastic alone while it firms up. It forms a skin fairly soon, but takes longer to harden fully.
Once mastic starts to crumble, rain gets in. It can soak into the frame and the surrounding masonry so early renewal protects both.
Why act early in The Hangers
Not every filler suits an old window surround. Sand mastic is the like-for-like choice and that can be important for listed homes. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like The Hangers, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
