Sand mastic in Tidworth
Sand mastic skins over fairly quickly, but it takes longer to harden fully. Traditional guidance is not to paint over it and we will advise if you are redecorating. We work on stone surrounds, tenement windows and timber door frames, and common reasons people get in touch are patchy fillers round a sash window and mastic dropping out of the joint.
Homes around Tidworth range from older properties to newer houses, and their windows range just as widely. The right sealant depends on the frame and on what it sits in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Do you need sand mastic in Tidworth?
Previous repairs in cement or silicone often trap water or crack away. They don’t suit the joint, and they generally need raking out.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Gaps round a timber door in stone or brick
- Wind and rain getting in round a sash window
- Window mastic to renew ahead of painting
- Crumbling sand mastic round a window
Schools such as The Wellington Academy are buildings too, and the mastic around its windows and doors needs looking after like any other building’s.

Can I do it myself?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How we quote for sand mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The product the joint needs
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether the work is at height
- The size of the job
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first.
What we need to know
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The rough size of the job
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Photos by email, if that is easy
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you are ready, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tidworth
New sash windows are a major, costly change and on a listed home, consent may be needed. Where the frames are in good order, new mastic seals the surround. In an older home around Tidworth, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Tidworth questions
Will you come out to Tidworth?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is sand mastic in Tidworth guaranteed?
All our work, in Tidworth and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does sand mastic take to go off?
It forms a skin fairly soon and it hardens fully over a longer time. Timing depends on the weather and the joint.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
Can you replace silicone on a period window with sand mastic?
Yes. The silicone is cut out and the joint cleaned before the sand mastic goes in.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few photos.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.

Tidworth homes and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and frames set in older brick or stone need a sealant that suits the wall as well as the frame.
